Vineyard

In honor of the people who labor in the vineyard of Mendoza, Chento is the fulfillment of their hard work and passion. For over a century, past generations have produced grapes and wines of quality and authenticity from the foothills of the Andes Mountains. This single vineyard wine of unique character is named after "Chento," the guardian of the estate for over 40 years. Chento Single Vineyard comes from a careful selection of the best parcels that surround the winery in Alto Agrelo vineyard.

Vinification

The wine goes through a cold pre-fermentation maceration to preserve primary aromas. Then, a series of delestages and pumpovers take place during fermentation for a more balanced extraction. The juice is fermented for about 14 days at low temepreatures and is followed by a post-fermentation maceration. TA: 4.9. pH: 3.7

Aging

The wine is aged for 10-12 months in 100% French oak.
