This well crafted range of wines exudes freshness and vibrancy, boasting an inviting fruit-forward profile that promises exceptional value for consumers.

Bodegas Callia is situated in the Tulum Valley in Argentina’s province of San Juan. It is nestled between the Pie de Palo hills to the north and the Cerro Chico Del Zonsa to the south. Two finca estates encompass 700 acres of land: Finca Pie de Palo and Finca 9 De Julio. At 630 meters above sea level, the area is blessed with a temperate climate, low rainfall, and rich sandy alluvial and clay loam soil; the result is intense and fruity wines that reflect the rich terroir of this region.

The grapes for this wine were harvested at an advanced maturity in order to attain a greater level of natural sugar. Traditional fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, with maceration and temperatures controlled at 80º to 82ºF. The two varietals were fermented separately, then blended after their malolactic fermentations. The final wine was then filtered and bottled.

On the nose, exotic aromas of blackberry, violet, juicy plum, ripe figs, and sour cherries. The palate offers a velvety mouthfeel with flavors of raspberry, ripe cherry, and chocolate. This enticing red blend has a touch of sweetness.
