Pielihueso Red Blend Los Sauces

by Pielihueso · Mendoza, Argentina

RedMalbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot14.2% ABV

With a name that translates roughly to 'bone skin,' Pielihueso isn't trying to blend in with the crowd. This distinctive red blend from the Los Sauces vineyard in Mendoza showcases what happens when traditional Bordeaux varieties find their expression in Argentina's high-altitude terroir.

The combination of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot creates a wine that's both familiar and surprising – recognizable components coming together to create something uniquely Argentine. Pielihueso represents the new wave of Argentine winemaking that looks beyond just Malbec to create wines with complexity and character.

This is the kind of bottle that makes you reconsider what you think you know about South American wines – and at this price point, it's a risk well worth taking.
