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.
