Karim Mussi

Alandes Concrete Tank White Blend 75cl

£19.50

Internationally recognised as one of the most talented winemakers in Argentina today, Karim Mussi continues to go from strength to strength, with leading wine critics falling over themselves to heap praise on these expressive and distinctive wines. Altocedro is a terroir-driven winery in La Consulta, a special spot in the Uco Valley. Alongside Altocedro, the Alandes project represents absolute freedom, a ‘laissez-faire’ winemaking philosophy that is in an extensive territory without borders.

From the inception of the winery in 1999 Karim’s winemaking philosophy has been centred around the use of his historic concrete fermentation tanks, which provide textural interest and full varietal expression in the resulting wines. 100% fermented and aged in small concrete vats, no oak.

Semillon in the mix imparts texture, body and depth while the Sauvignon Blanc brings freshness and aromatic intensity; sea spray, grapefruit, citrus and herbaceous aromas on the nose leads to a mineral, waxy palate with vibrant acidity. Medium bodied with a refreshing, tangy finish highlighting its mineral character.
