Achaval Ferrer Quimera, 2018

In rich aroma of ruby wine the notes of blueberries, currants, blackberries are combined with spices, rosemary and dark chocolate. Balanced on the palate, with a medium body, elegant tannins and a long aftertaste.

Wine pairs well with meat dishes, game, pasta and aged cheese.

Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature followed by aging in oak barrels.

15 months aging in new (100%) French Oak Barrels.

The wine’s name "Quimera" comes from the mythological character of the same name. Quimera is a winged, unique creature with wool and feathers, in which the unexpected and the mysterious are mixed. That is why one of the founders of winery: Santiago Achaval, associates this creature with assemblage (mixture). And the Assemblage was the unrealizable desire of the winemaker to achieve an ideal of wine that did not exist in nature.

The wine is made from vines growing in the highland vineyards of Diamante, Pedriel (1908) and Medrano (1928) at an altitude of 700 -1100 meters above sea level. The top layer of soil on Diamante is one meter thick and consists of calcium carbonate, which gives a special character to the wine. Harvesting takes place by hand.

Young wine company Achaval Ferrer was founded in 1998 by a group of Italian and Argentine associates who passionately love their land and their business. The main goal of the company is to create high-quality, complex and deep wines that reflect the best properties of the local terroir as much as possible. The company's vineyards are located in the Mendoza region at an altitude of 700-1000 meters above sea level. Achaval Ferrer's wines have earned high marks by a number of wine experts and critics.
