Fruit-friendly, youthful and dynamic, Callia wines inspires consumers to find some "me" time; to take a break and reward themselves for all their daily efforts that propel them forward. Callia’s philosophy is based on the notion that reconnecting with oneself and others while enjoying the simple pleasures in life, helps us to restore balance and find happiness.
TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTESBodegas Callia is situated in the Tulum Valley in Argentina’s province of San Juan. It is nestled between the Pie de Palo hills to the north and the Cerro Chico Del Zonsa to the south. Two finca estates encompass 700 acres of land: Finca Pie de Palo and Finca 9 De Julio. At 630 meters above sea level, the area is blessed by temperate climate, low rainfall and rich sandy alluvial and clay loam soil; the result is intense and fruity wines that reflect the rich terroir of this region.
WINEMAKINGThe grapes are hand-harvested and immediately crushed and destemmed to preserve freshness and fruit character. The grapes undergo a cold maceration for 10 days
AGEING30% of this blend was oak aged for three months, 50% in French and 50% in American Oak.
TASTING NOTESOn the nose, fruit aromas are combined with spiced aromas. On the palate, it is sweet and rounded with noticeable but very mild tannins that make it very delicate and easy to drink.
