San Martin

Wine from San Martin comes out of Mendoza, Argentina, where it sits as a sub-region.

Growers build the wines around Criolla Grande, filling out the blend with Cereza, Chardonnay, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The climate is continental, running wide diurnal swing.

The vineyards themselves read as riverside.

Red wine, white wine and rosé wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows aromatic and fruit-forward characters and fresh and youthful sparkling wines.

Pour them alongside beef & venison, chilis & hot spicy food and tomato-based dishes.
