Ver Sacrum, Garnacha 2021

The grapes for this Ver Sacrum Garnacha 2018 were hand-picked. The semi-carbonic maceration with 25 percent whole clusters lasted for four days. Fermentation, initiated by ambient yeasts, was carried out in 3000-litre concrete eggs. Fifty percent of the wine is aged on the lees in concrete eggs for 6 months; the other fifty percent in third use French oak barrels of 225 litres, followed by 8 months in bottle. The wine went through spontaneous malolactic conversion.

Eduardo Soler and two friends started Ver Sacrum in 2012 with the concept of growing and vinifying Rhone varietals. Their winemaking ethos focuses on fresh, low alcohol, lighter skin contact, native yeast, honest, and easy drinking wines. All grapes are hand harvested and most are foot crushed with minimal intervention in the vineyards and winery and no corrections, filtration, or pump overs. Eduardo came into winemaking after returning to Mendoza and reuniting with some of the most adventurous growers of Argentina.
