Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"The pure Garnacha 2018 Gloria S is evolving very slowly and still feels primary and undeveloped. The warmer year delivered a wine with full ripeness and development of aromas and flavors, while keeping the alcohol at a moderate 12.8% with very good freshness and acidity. The vineyard is in the process of getting organic certification. They used 50% full clusters that were foot trodden at low temperature, and the wine matured in amphorae and barrel for 18 months. The élevage has not marked the aromas or flavors and has respected the purity of fruit and the variety. It's medium-bodied and has very fine and elegant tannins." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This wine is 100% hand harvested Garnacha from a single plot that is all planted to goblet within the estate vineyard in the Los Chacayes IG within the Uco Valley. The nose is vibrant and perfumed showing raspberry and cranberry wrapped up in wet clay and a touch of ash. The palate is soft and round with red cherry and baking spices with a light tannin backbone. A very nuanced and layered wine." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
