INFO: "We want to make great wines, we want to be successful, but we don't want to be big!" This is a small to medium sized producer that believes it must work within a pre-defined maximum scale in order to maintain the highest possible style and quality credentials. It's working, as testified by the 2015 Sommelier Wine Awards when no fewer than three of the wines won gold medals (including this one) and Atamisque was named New World Producer of the Year. The winery is located in the district of San José in Tupungato, Uco Valley. Here it is all about fruit and pure varietal character so the wine is not oaked. There is also an attractive plumpness and texture on the mid palate that you don’t often see in wines in this price range.
