Mantra Rebel Pinot Noir

This wine from Secreto Patagonico is made using 100% pinot noir grapes. 15% of the grapes are macerated in whole bunches within a concrete tank. Fermentation occurs using indigenous yeasts under low temperatures and a percentage of the run off is aged in old French oak for 3 months before being blended with wine aged in stainless steel tanks.

Light red in colour with an elegant appearance. Fruit driven with strawberries, red cherry and hints of pepper in the background. Great acidity and silky tannins which help shape the wine. Try with beef, rabbit, duck, grilled fish, mushroom risotto or creamy cheeses such as brie.

Secreto Patagónico was born in 2003, when Carlos and Cristina Groppo Parisi planted the first grapevines in the town of San Patricio del Chañar, an unexplored and promising region in Patagonia, Argentina. The winery is now run by the second generation: Tomás, an engineer, and Sofía, with her degree in business administration, bring together their enthusiasm and passion for wine, and for Patagonia. The family estate stretches 61 hectares with a 300,000 litre cellar. The vineyards itself experience low annual rainfall and frequent and intense winds; forcing the grapes to develop thick skins and establish deep set roots, characterising its wines robust structure.
