ABOUT THIS WINE
The Alpamanta Breva Syrah Rosé 2020 is a unique rosé from Alpamanta Estate Wines, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture in Argentina. The name 'Breva' refers to the first fruit of the fig tree, symbolizing this wine as the estate's inaugural natural wine, conceived to innovate perceptions of biodynamic winemaking. Produced in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, at an altitude of 950 meters, the wine is crafted with minimal intervention. Its distinctive hazy appearance and rich texture are a result of being unfiltered and unfined, with the winery encouraging the incorporation of its natural sediment. Alpamanta Estate Wines is committed to organic and biodynamic practices, holding certifications from ECOCERT and DEMETER, and embracing regenerative agriculture.
