Bright violet in colour, this wine bursts with aromas of plum and blueberry, whilst vanilla and subtle hints of coffee express its time with oak. On the palate it shows supple berry fruit and cinnamon nuances balanced by soft, rounded tannins.

History
La Casa del Rey in Mendoza, Argentina, achieved Fairtrade certification in 2011 following a worker's initiative. Funds raised from the Fairtrade premium have helped towards educational projects and have allowed the Monteflores Association to implement an integrated health and nutrition programme. A doctor has been provided to work alongside the community and cover the health needs of over 60 workers and their families, the majority who live in remote areas with little access to medical resources.
Regional Information
A high-altitude, continental climate with intense sunshine helps grapes ripen fully, developing rich colour and bold fruit flavours. Warm days and cool nights create balance and freshness, while low rainfall supports healthy vines, resulting in smooth, full-bodied wines with ripe fruit character and soft tannins.
Current Vintage
2025
Vinification Details
Handpicked grapes are fermented with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures to retain an excellent concentration of freshness and fruit aromas. The wine is then left to mature for 6 months in American oak barrels before bottling.
