Humberto Canale Estate

Not an obvious area for viticulture, however Patagonia contains some of the most sought after vineyards in Argentina. The most southern region is vast (double the size of California) and mostly desert terrain, with extreme winters and favourable summers that provide cool evenings. Here, wines produce extremely strong aromatics, and balancing acidity and sugars. The intensity of Patagonian wines continue to the depth of their colour and expressive fruit flavours.

Malbec is one of the most dominant red varietal and composes about 30% of the wines produced in the region. Although Malbec is a popular varietal, Pinot Noir is more synonymous with Patagonia. The Humberto Canale winery is steeped with Patagonia history, and located along the valley of the Negro River. Aging for seven months in both American and French oak, gives the already deep Estate Malbec more complexity. We suggest decanting for at least 30 minutes prior to serving and enjoying before 2020 at 18 C.
