Inmemorial Criollas Vinedo Ancestral Mendoza 2023

Inmemorial is the newest project from Sebastien Bisole and Norberto Paez, 2 childhood friends born and raised amongst the vines in Mendoza, Argentina. Since leaving their respective jobs as growers and winemakers in Mendoza, they moved to the small village of Tupungato, in the high altitude Uco Valley, to pursue a project centered on organic farming and minimal intervention winemaking. The focus is on Criollas, grapes brought by the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century, that have evolved and adapted into unique, hardy South American grapes. Fermentation is with native yeast in stainless steel and concrete tanks. The wines age in those same tanks and are bottled with no filtration and minimal sulfur.

This wine opens with bright, inviting aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and red currants, lifted by soft floral hints and a touch of citrus zest. On the palate it’s light-to-medium bodied with vibrant red berry and watermelon flavors balanced by lively acidity and a subtle mineral note. The finish is crisp, clean, and refreshing, capturing the natural energy and terroir of Mendoza’s ancestral viticulture.
