WINE DESCRIPTION

Navarro Correas Colección Privada Blend is a distinguished wine crafted by the renowned Navarro Correas winery. Produced in the esteemed appellations of Luján de Cuyo, Valle de Uco, and Maipú, its grapes hail from vineyards situated between 650 and 1060 meters above sea level, fostering a significant thermal amplitude. This unique climate ensures slow maturation of the grapes, enhancing the richness of aromas and flavors. The winemaking process involves classic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts, followed by six months of oak aging. The result is a wine with a balanced blend of fruitiness and oak complexity, characterized by refreshing aromas and flavors. Navarro Correas Colección Privada Blend epitomizes the mastery of winemaking, promising a delightful sensory experience for wine enthusiasts.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Navarro Correas Coleccion Privada Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot - Malbec offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, interwoven with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of spice on the nose.On the palate, it reveals a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon's structured tannins, Merlot's velvety texture, and Malbec's vibrant fruitiness, delivering flavors of blackcurrants, raspberries, and a subtle earthy undertone. Silky-smooth with a medium to full body, this wine showcases a well-balanced acidity and a lingering, satisfying finish. Pair it with grilled meats such as ribeye steak or lamb chops, hearty pasta dishes with rich tomato-based sauces, or aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano. Enjoyable upon release, but it can also benefit from further cellaring for 3-5 years to allow its flavors to evolve and integrate further.

ORIGINS

Winery: Navarro Correas

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.
