The grapes are grown in Gualtallary, Tupungato in the Uco Valley at 1,300 metres above sea level. At this altitude the diurnal temperature difference with warm days and cool nights creates a long hang-time, concentrating the flavours in the berries, while retaining balancing acidity. The wine is aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months and then cellared in bottle for a minimum of eight months prior to release.
Intense aromas of deep red fruits and a noticeable presence of red bell pepper, fennel, mint, anise, eucalyptus and basil. A structured, full bodied wine, with rounded tannins resulting in a pleasant and persistent finish. Try with red meat, roasted vegetables, pasta or dishes in rich sauces.
Founded in 2003, Andeluna produces premium mountain wines from their 70-hectare vineyard situated at an elevation of 1,300 metres in the rocky terroir of Gualtallary, Tupungato in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. By night, the moon can be seen illuminating the magnificent Andes Mountains nearby and the winery has been named after this stunning scene. The vineyard is managed using sustainable practices and in 2015 the entire vineyard was soil mapped with cultivation methods adapted accordingly.
