🍷 Discover the Enchantment of the Heartbreak Grape 🍷
Pinot Noir wine is the most highly prized wine in the world. Called "the noble grape" in France, for good reason as it has been coveted by kings and commoners in large part for its magical abilities with food. If you are ever ordering wine at a restuarant for a large crowd of people, Pinot Noir is a safe bet as it is most likely to compliment most people's meals!
Colloquillay known as the "heartbreak grape", it is a much riskier investment for both growers and winemakers than other wine varietals. The grape clusters are usually small and difficult to ripen evenly, the skins are thin and there is a propensity to suffer a variety of diseases!
That risk is one of the reasons it is highly sought after (and can be expensive). Andre Tchelistcheff, one of America’s most influential winemakers declared that “God made Cabernet Sauvignon whereas the devil made Pinot Noir.”
Having said that, however, we believe this varietal to be quite heavenly!

Colour
Bright ruby red wine
Nose
Intense and balanced aromas, with black fruit and spicy notes.
Palate
It is voluptuous and warm in the mouth, with a smoked aftertaste and incipient tannins. It is clean and vivacious in the palate, featuring a well- defined character and an expressive finish with a floral touch. Having great potential to add complexity after storage, this is a wine that reflects the vineyard’s age and varietal purity.
Producer
The winery that today produces Luigi Bosca wines was founded in 1901 by Leoncio Arizu, a Spanish citizen from Navarra who settled in Mendoza in 1890. Located in the Vistalba valley, in the Luján de Cuyo region, an area that, due to its characteristics, achieved the first " Denomination of Controlled Origin "of America. Luigi Bosca launched the first Malbec DOC in Argentina and Latin America.
Winemaking
Manual harvest, bunch selection, stalking and manual berry selection, followed by pre-fermentation cold maceration at a temperature of 8°C. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel barrels at a controlled temperature of 28°C using selected yeasts. After the alcoholic fermentation, part of the wine is aged for eight months in French oak barrels. Once it concludes, the wine is bottled by gently filtering it.
