Vino de la Carrera Sauvignon Blanc
-- Parker: The 2023 Viña Extremas Sauvignon Blanc La Carrera is sourced from a vineyard planted at 1,700 meters in elevation on clay topsoils supported by calcareous stones. It was vinified in foudre and aged for eight months. The nose is the quintessence of the alpine, herbal aromas one finds when walking the vineyards of Uco Valley, exuding crystalline aromas of thyme, mint, jarilla and a hint of basil with a citrus-driven backdrop. The palate is sleek, focused and tight, releasing into a clean, linear, well-defined finish bolstered by textural breadth. Among the more remarkable Sauvignon Blancs produced in Argentina, I cannot wait to follow the aging trajectory here.
