Tasting Notes

On the nose, bright red and black raspberry aromas predominate, with herbal notes and a hint of clove. These fresh-fruit notes carry through to the palate, where the flavor of freshly crushed raspberries and dark berries is complemented by notes of leather, dark chocolate, and a faint hint of sandalwood on the finish. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe, silky tannins and balanced acidity, this charming red offers youthful energy and a seamless structure that makes it enjoyable now and capable of short-term cellaring.

About the Producer

La Posta is a project rooted in Mendoza’s grower culture, created by Laura Catena in collaboration with winemaker Luis Reginato to spotlight small-family vineyards rather than produce estate-centric wines. Each bottling in the La Posta range is named after a grower family and sourced from a single vineyard, with the intent of expressing the diversity of terroir across Mendoza’s appellations. The name La Posta refers to a traditional meeting place or tavern where growers would gather to discuss vines and soil, underscoring the project’s emphasis on the people who farm the grapes rather than a centralized winery brand.

La Posta’s philosophy is straightforward: handpick fruit from dedicated growers, vinify it with minimal intervention, and let each site’s characteristics show through in the bottle. The wines have earned consistent recognition for quality relative to price, and critics have highlighted their balance between fruit concentration, freshness, and accessible structure.
