Well besides maybe weeing your pant after the first sip you can expect that this Pian Oro is an elegant and charming wine with its brilliant and crystal-clear straw yellow colour. The intense and fresh bouquet is exploding with enchanting ripe yellow fruits notes of pineapple and peaches, enhanced by citrus scents in the background. The sapid and harmonic taste creates a long-lasting and well-balanced acid mouthfeel.The grapes are harvested from a number of premium vineyards and estates around Mendoza prior to pressing at the winery. The vineyards sit in the appellation of Medrano in Mendoza at around 350 metres above sea level. Vines are planted at a density of 4000 vines per hectare in a semi desert like position, located close to the Tunyan river, this moderates the climate a little.. Soils are deep and sandy and the vines they support are around 10 years old and trained vertically with Guyot pruning.
