Dominio del Plata Nosotros Vista Flores 2012
Vista Flores, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaEdy Del Popolo’s departure from Dona Paula was feisty winemaker Susana Balbo’s gain. Upon his arrival at Dominio del Plata the first thing Del Popolo asked Balbo was to consider taking her signature Nostros and set it free to travel to the best vineyard (fruit) each year. Originally the best vineyard in Agrelo it is now a Single Vineyard Nomade a name meant to celebrate its journey every year to the best grapes they can find. Enter Dominio del Plata Nosotros 2012 Vista Flores, Uco Valley, Mendoza. In 2012 Nosotros is sourced from selected parcels in the region of Chacayes at 1200 metres, along the far west, high side of Vista Flores. The soils are complex, colluvial-alluvial origin with a sandy-loam frame in the first 10 inches. The second layer of calcareous soil and white gravels goes down two metres. Clearly more and more limestone sites are being planted to vine. More vertical more linear, Popolo likes minerality and freshness while winemaker Susannah Balbo likes sweetness and roundness with toast. So far it’s a fine match. Wow what a delicious, intense juicy vibrant red wine made with intensity and balance. A star is born.Tasted: 24 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $125.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
