Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A wine born from select plots from a 50-year-old estate. Grapes are fermented with their peel in 1000-litre foudres, where wine is subsequently aged for two winters, followed by a gently filtering and bottling process.

    The Chenin Blanc 2019 Propósitos comes from Parral in Villa Seca in Tunuyán (bordering Tupungato), a variety the locals call the Pinot from the Loire, from a vineyard planted in 1970. It comes from a very balanced year when the wine finished with 12.2% alcohol, a pH of 3.2 and almost seven grams of acidity. It's austere, serious and varietal, with great balance and purity and a captivating nose of yellow flowers and faint smoke and spice. The grapes have to be picked before botrytis develops, so it's always low in alcohol, but the wine has full development of aromas and flavors. It's reductive, with notes of gunpowder and silex, quite distinct. 1,00 bottles were filled in June 2021. Best After 2022. Rating: 95+

    Coming from 50-year-old bush vines in Villa Seca, this is a setting a new benchmark for Argentinian Chenin Blanc and is a wine that will certainly evolve gracefully for many years to come. A savoury wine with notes of chamomile and white pepper.

Michelini I Mufatto, South America
Michelini I Mufatto Andrea, Gerardo and Manu Muffato Winery Image

Andrea Mufatto and Gerardo Michelini started their winery in 2019 alongside their son Manuel Michelini. They are situated at the foot of the Andes in one of the highest elevations of the Uco Valley where the soil contains some of the richest components of calcium carbonate and granite in all of South America. This particular sub region is at the highest, most western portion of Gualtallary and goes by the name La Cautiva. At Michelini i Mufatto they strive to make some of the most unique wines of Argentina and the wines show tension, elegance and balance. They are currently working with Semillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The trio also makes wine in Uruguay and Spain and they are the first family in Argentina to import small production wine from Europe

Unquestionably one of the most diverse grape varieties, Chenin Blanc can do it all. It shines in every style from bone dry to unctuously sweet, oaked or unoaked, still or sparkling and even as the base for fortified wines and spirits. Perhaps Chenin Blanc’s greatest asset is its ever-present acidity, maintained even under warm growing conditions. Somm Secret—Landing in South Africa in the mid 1800s, today the country has double the acreage of Chenin Blanc planted compared to France. There is also a new wave of dedicated producers committed to restoring old Chenin vines.

Mendoza Wine

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
