Deep intense violet-red color with marked purple nuances, it stands out for its elegant, sophisticated, and complex style. On the nose, it features notes of red and black fruits of raspberry, plum, blackberry, blueberry, with hints of violets and vanilla. It is lively, expressive, balanced on the palate, with silky and sweet tannins, and refreshing acidity.

Founded in 2002 by Julio Camsen, Huentala expands across more than 230 hectares of vineyard land in Gualtallari, one of Uco Valley’s most coveted hillside viticultural areas at over 4,500 feet from sea level with sandy, stony and chalky soils. “Huentala” is an aboriginal name that pays homage to the first indigenous tribes to farm Mendoza’s soils. Julio Camsen is a self-made entrepreneur in the hospitality industry who’s passionate about wine, history and classy “sombreros” among many other things.
