Escorihuela Gascón, ROSAURA, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina 2024

ROSAURA takes its name from Miguel Escorihuela’s wife — a woman whose quiet strength and vision were essential in shaping the earliest steps of the winery. Her legacy lives on in this wine, a heartfelt tribute that bridges our family’s past with a contemporary enological interpretation. It embodies the harmony between tradition and innovation, a reminder that behind every great creation there are people whose passion inspires and endures.”

ROSAURA Born in the heart of Agrelo, Mendoza, one of Argentina’s most celebrated terroirs for crafting elegant, expressive wines, ROSAURA reflects the unique character of its birthplace. Our vineyard, with vines over 35 years old, lies at the gateway to Alto Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, where altitude, soil, and climate converge in perfect balance. Cold mountain breezes descending from the Andes create a refreshing microclimate and remarkable thermal amplitude, while a gentle eastern hillside acts as a natural shield, nurturing slow, even ripening and remarkable aromatic precision. The grapes for ROSAURA come exclusively from Block 14, a section distinguished by an ancient riverbed rich in stones. This singular feature enhances drainage and concentrates flavor, lending depth and vibrancy to the fruit. Vinified in stainless steel tanks, the must underwent a 48-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration, allowing delicate extraction of color and aroma. Fermentation followed at temperatures below 28 °C to preserve the wine’s freshness and purity. Afterward, malolactic fermentation completed the transformation, softening the texture and integrating complexity. Eighty-five percent of the wine was then aged for 12 months in a combination of 225-liter oak barrels and 7,000-liter foudres, a balance that brings subtle spice, gentle toast, and a supple, silky mouthfeel.
