What do the experts say?

“

Patricio Tapia: "Nosotros Nomade comes this year from vineyards in the Gualtallary area, on soils of alluvial origin, rich in lime, towards the north of the Uco Valley, above 1,300 meters high. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in barrels for 16 months, this is a son of a warm year, with unctuous aromas and flavors and the sensation of voluptuousness that joins round and delicious tannins. A wine to wait a few years in the bottle and gain complexity"
