"The 2020 Chenin Blanc Propositos from Villa Seca, Tunuyan was fermented in foudres and aged in them for a year followed by another in barrels. Golden yellow in the glass. The nose presents notes of wet wool, hints of gunpowder and clear aromas from the aging process along with hints of nutmeg, hazelnut and mint. In the mouth, it's wonderfully fresh with good tension, a dry flow and hay flavors. A complex, precise wine with a slightly chalky feel and a smoky flourish, it's both delicate and potent; an oxymoron in a glass."

    From very old vineyards planted in the 1970s in the Villa Seca sector of Tunuyán, this 100% Chenin Blanc was aged in foudres for about 15 months and offers outstandingly intense acidity that seems to have a special energy, like a spark that sends projectiles all over the palate. This is a wine for aging, that acidity is sending a message.Leave in the cellar for 5 years—more if you want. It will only get better with time.
