Don David Late Harvest Torrontes 2010Don David Late Harvest Torrontes 2010. By leaving Torrontes out on the vine longer than normal to concentrate, Don David have made a beautiful sweet wine. It shows butterscotch, jasmin, grapefruit, floral notes and much more. The mouthfeel is velvety and offers liquorice, raisins and age has added some savoury/nutty notes. A great wine to drink over the next few years, it will go with Roquefort, fresh fruits nothing at all.
Don David Tannat 2011 Argentina
Don David Tannat 2011 ArgentinaThe Don David range are the flagship wines of the Bodega El Esteco estate named in homage to the winery founder David Michel.
Terroir: Each selection in the Don David range is sourced from entirely estate owned vineyards throughout the Cafayate Valley. Vineyards sit at elevations well above 3,000 feet with many sitting above 6,000 feet. The power of the sun at these elevations combined with very little moisture or pests leads to wines of unique purity and concentration.
Vinification: Concentration and varietal expression are the goals of both the red and white wines in this range. The red wines undergo a 5 hour thin covering maceration which extracts additional concentration followed by more than a week of cold maceration in steel tank and 9 months in the cellars in a combination of French and American oak.
