Bodega El Esteco
Old Vines 1958 Criolla White Blend
Cafayate, Salta, Northwestern Provinces, Argentina
Correction: red; not a white blend.
Very pale ruby at its core with noticeable bricking along the rim even though it's a fairly young wine.
Served chilled. Pronounced herbaceous nature alongside a basket of red fruits. A much more complex nose than the color would've led me to believe. Tannins are noticeable, but not pronounced. Overall, it's a unique wine and the perfect, bolder alternative to a light, acidic white in the summertime
