About

Don David wines come from the Salta region, a region known to be among the highest altitudes wine growing regions in the world. The climate in Salta makes Don David wines uniquely exquisite.

Terroir

Located at over 1800 meters | 6000 feet hidden in the North of Argentina, the Calchaqui Valley displays some unique characteristics. Poor alluvial soils; high sun exposure; low humidity; and broad thermal amplitude make this terroir deliver high concentrated wines with accentuated aromas, colors and flavors.

Vinification

Concentration and varietal expression are the goals of both the red and white wines in this range. The red wines undergo a 5 hour thin covering maceration which extracts additional concentration followed by more than a week of cold maceration in steel tank and 9 months in the cellars in a combination of French and American oak.

Tasting Notes

Black with red notes and purple rims. Vibrant and bright. Pleasant color intensity, young. Reminiscent of plum jam and raisins, with notes of chocolate and mild and balanced oak. Sweet and soft tannins. Balanced, with notes of oak and ripe fruit. Elegant wine of long persistence.

Food Pairing

Ideal to serve with traditional Argentinean dishes based on red meats also with hard cheeses and smoked cold cuts.

Floral nose with plenty of violet, morello cherries, dried oregano and thyme-like herbs. Fleshy, flavorful dark cherry fruit and wild herbs to the palate followed by a fruity, firm finish. Juicy and generous with a medium to full body. Drink now.
