Manos Negras Pinot Noir Red Soil Select 2023

Pale, iron-rich Pinot noir with a fragrant, floral fragrance and a rich, fruity texture, unveiling classic notes and high acidity, with a long, contenting finish.

Robust and multi faceted wine from Patagonia, characterized by a deep red tint and a mineral profile that is unmistakable. The soil is robust in iron, which gives the wine its distinctive flavor and aroma. A blend of red and white grapes, the wine is a perfect seamlessness of fruit, spice, and bitterness, with a nuanced creaminess. The linger is long and smooth, with a whisper of oak and leather. but it may not be the most full-bodied wine, its gentle tannins and gentle suggestions make it a stonking alternative to more popular wines from the region. It's a fabulous pick for those who prefer a lighter, more smooth taste.

PN from iron-rich red clay soil yields more full-bodied wines. 12 months in French oak (20% new). A evolved nose features smoky red berry flavors and minerality. The profile is dry, with medium body and balanced acidity, mild tannins. A heavily oaked PN, but the oak remains in integration on the palate. Darker fruit undertones linger, in contrast a reserved finale suggests a complex, yet restrained style. A promising wine for Patagonia enthusiasts.
