WINE DESCRIPTION

Corazon del Sol Luminoso is a premium wine produced by the renowned Argentine winery, Corazon del Sol. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Uco Valley appellation, which is known for its high altitude and ideal growing conditions. The vineyard features sandy soils and a unique microclimate that allows for slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine with intense flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and chocolate. Corazon del Sol Luminoso is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a premium Argentine wine with a unique character and exceptional quality.

The palate is full-bodied and rich, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with a spicy kick. This is a wine that combines power and elegance, showing the potential of the Rhône varieties in the high-altitude terroir of Los Chacayes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Corazon del Sol

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
