Buscado Vivo O Muerto

Fermented in barrels and aged in them for a year, this wine comes from vineyards planted on sandy calcareous soils about 1,300 meters above sea level in Gualtallary, in the north of the Uco Valley. Without having undergone malolactic fermentation, this is a nervy wine with intense acidity, and in terms of flavors, they're a combination of citrus notes and riper white fruit aromas. The texture is firm, for shellfish with lemon.
