Fresh, slick, powerful
The family vineyards of El Porvenir are located around 5,700 feet above sea level in Tolombon very near Cafayate. The winery was established four decades ago by winery director Lucia Romero-Marcuzzi's grandfather Roberto Romero. Planted with Tannat and Torrontes (vines now 55 years old) the estate was expanded two decades ago with the addition Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah among others.
This 100% Tannat is inky with notes of wild black berries, roasted plums, dried herbs, espresso, dark chocolate and Szechuan peppercorns. It has a slick glycerol texture and powerful demeanor balanced with freshness. Earthy, bordering on brooding, it trails flavours of smoked spice, mocha and tobacco.

Nervy, racy, precise.
The vineyards of El Porvenir are located at 1750m or 5,740 feet above sea level. This single vineyard white shows outstanding precision and form. Expect lime leaf, crunchy white fruits, honey and peach blossoms on the nose. Pristine with racy fruit and citrus in the mouth, it is taut and vibrant and more elegant than most Torrontes' I've come across.
Bravo.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Elegant, taut, outstanding.

This outstanding Torrontes was born from the old vine El Retiro Vineyard, which rests at 5,577 feet, and is perfumed with notes of lime and grapefruit, gooseberry and wild flowers, white pepper, peach nectar and honey. The palate is as precise and pristine as the nose; juicy with notable concentration it is taut and seamless, elegant and persistent.

This Malbec rose is pale salmon pink with notes of crab apple and red berry, vague spice and wet stone. It has a kiss of sweetness and flavours of apple peel, orange peel, red berries and brown spices. The texture is slick and it has a mouthwatering finish.
Straightforward and approachable.
