WINE DESCRIPTION

Luca Laborde Double Select Syrah is a premium wine from Argentina. The grapes are sourced from the Laborde vineyard in the Mendoza region, which is known for its high altitude and rocky soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and complex Syrah with notes of blackberry, plum, and spice, balanced by grainy tannins and a long finish. This wine is a great example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in Argentina.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Luca Laborde Double Select Syrah is a stunning example of the Syrah grape at its best. On the nose, bright aromas of ripe blackberry and plum are complemented by spicy notes of smoked meat and clove.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-balanced, with ripe, juicy fruit flavors that are framed by notes of toasted oak and spice. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasing hint of sweet vanilla. Enjoy this delicious Syrah now, or cellar for up to five years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Luca

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.
