From: San Juan, Argentina
Varietal: Criolla Chica (known as Pais in Chile)
Tasting Notes: This is a truly unique wine that pulls off a transcendent fusion of just the right amount of cool-climate rusticity, combined with fresh, ample crunchiness! Aromas of rose petal, rooibos tea, and wild cherry, and a palate defined by vibrant cherry and cranberry, with just a hint of tannin and a crisp finish. This brilliant wine will taste best with a slight chill.
Pairing: This wine presents a multitude of versatile pairing options. We would drink it with anything from Luna Azul tacos, to Thai Fried Rice from Laem Buri, to sautéed mushrooms. We also love the approach of incorporating Mediterranean-style herbal influences present in David Tanis’ recipe for Mediterranean Lentil Salad.
