Gran Corte

2005 Mendoza 55% Malbec - 45% Cabernet Sauvignon

Riglos Gran Corte, a remarkable blend of fifty-five percent Malbec and forty-five percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Mendoza region, showcases the best characteristics of both varietals. This full-bodied red wine enchants the palate with its pronounced fruit intensity and vibrant acidity, creating a mouthwatering experience. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth to the wine, while its dryness complements the rich flavors beautifully. With the 2005 vintage, this wine has matured gracefully, offering a complex bouquet of dark fruit, cocoa, and subtle spice notes that reflect its origins in the sun-drenched vineyards of Argentina. A true testament to Mendoza's winemaking prowess, Riglos Gran Corte is a delightful choice for any wine enthusiast.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
