The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree 2020

In the heart of Argentina's wine country, Mendoza stands as a beacon of natural winemaking amidst the Andean foothills. Here, in one of the world's highest wine-growing regions, winemakers are embracing sustainable practices and minimal intervention techniques to produce wines that truly reflect the essence of the land. With a focus on organic and biodynamic farming, vineyards thrive in the arid climate, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Malbec, Torrontés, and Bonarda. In the cellar, winemakers champion spontaneous fermentation and aging in neutral vessels like concrete or clay, allowing the pure expression of the grapes and terroir to shine through. The resulting natural wines from Mendoza are bold and expressive, with intense fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and a distinctive sense of place that captures the rugged beauty of the Andean landscape.
