Cara Sur 'Pergolas' Criollas Blancas Calingasta Valley, 2025

Regular price $19.00

100% Criolla Blanca. A vibrant, high-altitude white from Argentina’s Calingasta Valley, offering expressive notes of white peach, crisp apple, citrus zest, and delicate white flowers, with fresh herbs and a subtle chamomile nuance adding complexity. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on the lees, it balances bright acidity with a lightly textured, dry, almost chalky palate and a distinctive saline, mineral finish. A refreshing, characterful white that captures the purity of old-vine Criolla varieties grown in the foothills of the Andes, ideal alongside ceviche, grilled seafood, goat cheese, or herb-roasted chicken.

Details

Cara Sur is a small, artisanal winery founded in 2011 by two couples: winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi and Marcela Manini, alongside local agronomist and mountaineer Pancho Bugallo and Nuria Añó, in the remote Calingasta Valley of San Juan, Argentina. Inspired by the region’s rich viticultural heritage, the team is dedicated to rescuing old, often overlooked Criolla grape varieties and preserving traditional pergola-trained vineyards, some more than 80 years old. Farming organically at approximately 1,550 meters above sea level, they work with the valley’s arid climate, quartz-rich soils, and glacial meltwater to craft expressive mountain wines through native-yeast fermentation and minimal intervention. The name Cara Sur, meaning “south face,” refers to the challenging southern face of nearby Cerro Mercedario, reflecting the adventurous spirit behind the project and its commitment to showcasing the distinctive character and history of this remarkable Andean wine region.
