Winemaker 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 no added sugar, filtration, or pump overs. This wine is 100% Monastrell (aka Mouvedre) from a single vineyard in the Los Chacayes region area within Argentina's Uco Valley. The nose is bright with notes of sweet black cherry and cocoa that lead into a soft, round mid-palate with hints of tobacco and dried leaves. The long and juicy finish begs you to have another sip. Try this one with steak au poivre or pork chops!
