This wine is the result of the search for the purest expression of identity of Finca Piedra Infinita, in Paraje Altamira. It was sourced from a specific 0.78-hectare block (approximately 84,000 sq feet), located in the western part of the estate. This plot stands out for its shallow soils and huge rock deposits covered by a rich layer of calcareous material.<\/p>\n
In his 2022 report on Argentina for Robert Parker\u2019s Wine Advocate, Luis Guti\u00e9rrez writes that \u201cin a cooler harvest like that of 2019, this wine achieved a phenomenal level of precision, austerity, elegance and balance.\u201d \u201cIt floats on the palate with an ethereal quality, while showcasing all the influence and power of its place of origin. Fluid, refreshing, and with a saline touch on the finish, its attributes allow for it to be enjoyed right now or cellared for a long time. Bravo!\u201d<\/p>\n
In the words of Sebasti\u00e1n Zuccardi, the winery\u2019s Winemaker, \u201cthose of us who work on this vineyard day after day never cease to be amazed by its unique features. The 2019 harvest was one of the best we\u2019ve ever had because of the cool, dry weather. Everything happened at the right time, with no surprises. When it was over, we knew it would yield great satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n
