Karim Mussi - Winemaker

Vino del Sol, visit & tasting | 2022

Last week we welcomed once again to our friends and importers in the USA, Vino del Sol, along with a very enthusiastic group of retailers and wine journalists from several places (Atlanta, Texas, Savannah, New York). They tasted and learned more about the winemaking of some of our wines from the Altocedro portfolio and then finished the evening with a magical touch of Lebanese food made by Laila Mussi, Karim's sister, paired with our Altocedro Barrel Collection Pinot Noir and Rosé Merlot. Besides, later on that week, they also had the opportunity to visit our Altocedro winery in La Consulta (Uco Valley) in the middle of the grape harvest and reception of the grapes.

HANDS ON!

We love to have the opportunity to share with our visitors the moment when the grapes are received during the harvest.

So, this time, we took the opportunity of the visit of our friends and importers Vino del Sol to our winery in La Consulta, to tell them more about some of our sustainable practices that we carry out in the vineyard as well as to experience first-hand, the process of reception and selection of grapes.

On this occasion, they got to learn more about how a conveyor belt works, selecting only the best grapes that go into our wine, by discarding those elements we don't want, such as small seeds, unripe or dry bunches, vine shoots, and other harvesting bodies.

A fun and action-packed couple of days!
