Winemaker Notes
Intense purple in color. Deep floral aromas, especially violets, and red fruits such as raspberries and strawberries. On the palate, the tannins are present but well integrated and the structure of the wine leads into a long, delicious finish.

James Suckling
Aromas of ripe plums, blueberry jam, licorice, leather and wet earth. Full bodied, firm and structured with chewy tannins, yet with a soft, creamy texture and a savory feel. Lots of ripe blue-fruit and violet notes. Flavorful finish.

Andeluna Cellars is a winery and vineyard rich with history and romance –just like the country it calls home. This beautiful place is the inspiration for the name Andeluna, which was chosen to symbolize the romance and heritage of the Argentine moon illuminating the magnificent Andes Mountains that frame the Uco Valley. The combination of great vineyards growing classic varietals, with world-class winemaking, creates flavors and wines that cannot be found anywhere else.
Premium quality wine starts with premium quality grapes, and this is the essence of Andeluna. In the late 19th Century, many Italians immigrated to Argentina seeking opportunities that the rich and beautiful land provided. Searching for nothing less than the perfect place to make the world's best wine, they came to Mendoza and planted vineyards that began the heritage of Argentina's winemaking industry.
For generations, Argentina has grown and perfected the traditional grape varieties of the Old World – Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. But the feet of Andeluna don't rest in the soil of the Old World. Instead, they are planted firmly in the New World in a stunning series of vineyards that climb up the foothills of the Andes.
