Ver Sacrum GSM 2024

Los Chacayes sits high in the Uco Valley. 3,600 feet, calcareous river stone, the kind of site that gives you altitude and chalk in the same breath. Ver Sacrum works this fifteen-acre parcel into a Garnacha-led blend with Monastrell and Syrah, half whole cluster, native yeast, then eight months in fourth-use French oak and a year in bottle before release. The oak is furniture, not seasoning: this is red fruit, stony minerality and a lifted, peppery mid-palate with tannin that's present but unbothered. Mendoza doesn't only speak Malbec.
