From Pulenta Estate in Argentina’s Mendoza region, specifically the Finca La Zulema vineyard in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, the Gran Corte 2021 is a refined Bordeaux-style blend featuring Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Tannat sourced from vineyards at nearly 1,000 meters elevation on well-drained, rocky soils.
Hand-harvested grapes undergo manual selection of clusters and berries, fermentation in small stainless steel tanks, roll fermentors, and barrels, with aging in French oak barrels to integrate structure and complexity while preserving elegance.
Tasting Notes An elegant, structured red with ripe black fruit and refined spice aromas, delivering a sweet, smooth entry with round tannins and an elegant, persistent finish reflecting Agrelo's high-altitude terroir. The nose displays intense notes of roasted and fresh pepper, eucalyptus, and spice. On the palate, it is sweet and smooth, with round, ripe tannins providing volume and persistence.
Awards and Accolades The 2021 Gran Corte earned 94 points from James Suckling for its creamy texture and polished depth.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with grilled beef, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater leather and earthy nuances over time.
