Escorihuela Gascon, Extra Brut, Metodo Champenoise, Mendoza, Argentina NV

OVERVIEW: ”We stand out for crafting high – end sparkling wines by the traditional or champenoise method – achieving elegant sparklings with great body and excellent balance between acidity and freshness.”

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: Escorihuela Gascón’s Agrelo vineyard is located in a low area of Luján de Cuyo. This condition allows the cool winds that descend from the Andes Mountains to channel into the vineyard creating a cool climate and excellent thermal amplitude. This effect is due to the presence of a hill at the eastern region that cages such winds. Agrelo Vineyard has a homogeneous soil with sandy-loam that allows the necessary water retention from rainfall.

GRAPE VARIETY: 90% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir.

VINEYARD REGION: Agrelo.

WINE ANALYSIS: Alc/ Vol: 12,8%.
