Rogue Vine Grand Itata Blanco 2021 75cl
Tasting Note
Producer
Itata is an old and nearly forgottten viticultural valley with centenarial bush vines growing on pure granitic soils. The project is led by two friends, Leonardo Erazo who is the technical director of top Mendoza winery Altos las Hormigas and American Justin Decker. Both share a passion for terroir and sustainable growing, acquired over years of travelling the world’s vineyards. In Itata they have sourced old vines based on the style of wine they want to craft, they call it Reverse Winemaking. Initial production was enough to quench their own thirst, growing slowly to a couple of thousand bottles in recent vintages. Grand Itata Blanco is a blend of Muscat and Riesling raised in concrete tank expressing the freshness and minerality of the soil and climate.
