"The 2021 La Craie is a co-fermentation of Malbec and 25% Cabernet Franc from a tiny calcareous plot on the south-facing slope of the Monasterio Hill in the Gualtallary district of Uco Valley. A rich purple with a garnet sheen. The primary, nuanced nose has a distinctive, alluring profile: sage, mint and ash combine with blood orange, violets and hints of damp earth. On the palate, it has a chalky core that pumps energy into the lean tannic structure. This tea-like, flirtatious red will undoubtedly develop further in the bottle."
