Winery Notes:
The 2021 Altagracia unfolds with earthy notes of forest soil, humus and pine needles. After a swirl or two, scents of violets, cinnamon and blackberry, spring out of the glass with a hint of sandalwood. The mouthfeel is supple, velvety yet vibrant with tight-knit tannins accompanied by a crescendo of red and black currants and blackberries. This impression extends into a lingering finish of tobacco, cumin and turmeric with a stunning powdery texture of a freshly picked fruit. This mineral expression of the volcanic hillsides is the blueprint of Altagracia’s personality and offers a glimpse of its ageing potential. A spectacular expression of the eastern parcels of Eisele Vineyard!

A savory and juicy wine with thyme and citrus blossoms on the nose. Medium-bodied with delicious fruit and forest flower character. Long and juicy. Drink now and enjoy.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia comes from the more clay, volcanic hillsides located on the eastern side of the estate. It has a Pauillac-like style in its darker currants, iron, tobacco, and graphite-driven aromas, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a balanced, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Drink bottles any time over the coming 10-12 years.
