FAQ

What defines the Grand Petit Verdot Mendoza stylistically?
The Grand Petit Verdot Mendoza is a single-variety, powerful red wine with intense fruit depth, well-structured tannins and a long, harmonious finish – typical of Petit Verdot at its highest level.

How is the Grand Petit Verdot Mendoza vinified?
The grapes are fermented under temperature control and then aged for at least 12 months in new French oak barriques, giving the wine depth, complexity and an elegant wood structure without overpowering the variety's natural fruit character.

What role does the Petit Verdot grape play in this wine?
As a 100% single variety, Petit Verdot expresses its typical characteristics unfiltered: dark fruit, powerful tannins, pronounced herbal notes and a remarkable ageing capacity.

When does the Grand Petit Verdot Mendoza 2021 reach its peak?
The wine is already enjoyable now but has ageing potential of up to 10 years. With increasing maturity, the tannins soften and the aromas become more complex.

It harmonises beautifully with red meat, game and slow-cooked dishes – but also impresses as the perfect companion for a convivial evening among wine enthusiasts.

What makes the Mendoza region special?
Mendoza is Argentina's most important wine region. The Uco Valley, where Alpasión is based, lies at altitudes of up to 1,500 metres – extreme day-to-night temperature differences preserve the freshness of the grapes and promote complex aroma development.

What role does the barrique play in Grand Petit Verdot Mendoza?
The minimum 12-month ageing in new French oak barriques adds complexity, subtle smoky nuances and a pronounced, silky tannin structure to the wine, without masking the variety's natural fruit character.
