The 2020 Monastrell from Los Chacayes, Uco Valley is purple in the glass. It has a slightly compact nose of pomegranate, elderflower and herbal hints. The 2020 delivers pure flavors with delicate, refined, polished tannins that lend grip and texture. An unusual wine in that it flirts with being full-bodied but actually has a light, sun-kissed character.

Winemaker Notes

100% hand-harvested Monastrell (Mourvèdre) from a single vineyard in the Los Chacayes IG within the Uco Valley. Fermented 100% whole-cluster with native yeasts, then aged 100% sur-lie in concrete for 6 months.

Grape Varietal: 100% Monastrell

Winery Notes

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. They currently make wine from their small vineyard in Los Chacayes, Uco Valley where they have  planted Grenache, Monastrell, Carignan, Roussane, Marsanne, Mencia, Syrah, Teroldego, and Nebbiolo. Eduardo came into winemaking after returning to Mendoza and reuniting with some of the most adventurous growers of Argentina. He is also an avid mountaineer who has climbed multiple famous peaks and worked ski patrol in Aspen and Mendoza for many years. He currently owns and operates a small ski resort 2 hours outside of Mendoza. “When the old sent their young to found new villages, bringing grape vines to start new vineyards, they gave off by a ceremony called the sacred spring or Ver Sacrum. Since then, the Ver Sacrum is a symbol of the new tribe, new art, new vine. We renew this ancient vow, with the audacity create something new. This is our Ver Sacrum”- Eduardo Soler
