91 Points, James Suckling

This is packed tight with a concentrated, silky bead of ripe red berries and red cherries that drives through the palate, until fine, quite firm tannins block its path right at the end. Medium-bodied, but the concentration of fruit makes it feel heavier. Lots of energy here, but balance, too. Delicious now. Even better after another year in bottle. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is made with grapes from Las Mercedes Estate, sandy soil and very poor in organic matter. Mechanical harvest and aging in barrels of 25% of the wine with contributions from Tannat and Petit Verdot.

Brilliant ruby color with violet edges. Strawberries, raspberries and ripe fruit with touch of pepper and spices aromas and elegant floral notes. In mouth, flavors of red fruit, spice and hints of vanilla from aging in French oak. Very nice freshness. Round, soft tannins lead to a delicate, lingering finish.

Previous vintage [97 Points, Decanter World of Wine Awards]

Perfumed attractive nose with layers of spice, crunchy strawberries, ripe red plums and fresh violets. Vibrant on the palate with a lovely freshness in harmony with a dense chocolatey character, ending in an elegant spicy finish.

Barbera

Winemaker Notes

Barbera is the most representative Piedmontese grape variety thanks to its ability to ripen well in all weather conditions. These Barbera grapes are grown on a gently rolling hill in Altavilla d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe facing the renowned hill of Barbaresco. Thanks to its versatile features, Barbera goes well with most kinds of food.

This generous and fruity medium-bodied Barbera is the authentic expression of piedmontese tradition. It is refined for one year in traditional oak barrels but is still bright with a good amount of acidity. It has fresh fruit notes, a hint of almond and a few years down the road it will become fuller with black cherry and tar aromas.

Malbec

90 Points, Vinous

The 2020 Malbec Estate was 15% aged in French barrels. The open nose of red fruit offers hints of plum and violets. The tannins are sharp in the mouth but refined, and the freshness is precise before the red fruit returns at the end. A more cosmopolitan profile than previous versions.

Winemaker Notes

A pure expression of Patagonian “Terroir” and Argentinian Malbec. A refined and complex style both in the nose and in the mouth. Its just step through oak gives it an extra dimension that makes it an irresistible wine. A great wine, with structure, intense ruby red color, with amazing notes of red fruits, eucalyptus, spices and black peppers. After a year in bottle it becomes unctuous, intense, concentrated.

GRAPE

Mencia

Telmo’s red wine, once again from Galicia, is a red that shows the character of the stony hills and the Atlantic Ocean. This is a red wine made of 100% Mencia, a Spanish varietal found scattered through the country’s northwest. The vineyards are organically farmed, and the fruit is fermented again in stainless steel in order to maintain freshness, and using indigenous yeasts. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean is on full display, with its moderating influence playing its part in bringing balance to the wine. While it is ripe and full bodied, much like its white counterpart, this is vibrant and focussed, with no shortage of complexity and minerality.

91 Points, James Suckling [Review for 2019 vintage]

Lots of dark berries with spice and rust character. It’s medium-bodied with dark fruit and pepper. Drink now.
