Bodega Corazón del Sol

Argentina

Jul 19

In 2008, Dr. Madaiah Revana went to Argentina seeking to add to his family of estate wineries which includes Revana Family Vineyards in Napa Valley and Alexana Winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Enthralled by the terroir of the Uco Valley, he was determined to find his next great estate on the incredible alluvial soils of the Andes Mountains. The 17 acres of estate vineyard are planted at the base of the Andes at an elevation of 3,000 feet. A visually stunning background, the Andes are also responsible for the incredibly deep, alluvial soils which define this estate vineyard. Made up of rock and sand which has eroded from the Andes Mountains over millennia, these soils are extremely deep and well drained, resulting in wines of great complexity, power and finesse. Winemaker Santiago Achaval crafts their vineyard-driven wines from estate plantings of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
