About Andeluna
The Andeluna name and label were chosen by our founder to symbolize the romance and mystery of the Argentine moon that illuminates the Uco Valley at the foot of the majestic Andes Mountains. Andeluna Cellars’ wines combine fruit grown in world-class vineyards at high elevations with the very best of Argentine winemaking tradition. Located in Mendoza, the premiere wine region of Argentina near the town of Tupungato, the Andeluna Cellars winery was built at an elevation of 4,200 feet. Surrounded by 170 acres of mature vineyards that produce Bordeaux varietals of the finest quality, the 48,000 square foot winery has a one million liter tank capacity, a 1,200 barrel aging capacity and a 720,000 bottle storage capacity. Our passion for making the finest wines in Argentina is proudly reflected in every bottle of Andeluna wine.

Vineyards
Andeluna Cellars’ Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is made from premium grapes grown on our estate at high elevations of the Andes. During the growing cycle, we performed a tightly controlled concentrated polyphenolic maturation process and daily testing. This attention to detail, including careful control of the irrigation and the vine canopy, produced grapes clustered in small bunches that yielded less than 8,000 kilos per hectare. The grapes were harvested manually during the early morning and placed in bins for careful selection in the winery.

Winemaking
After selecting the very best bunches, the grapes underwent a destemming process before being moved to stainless steel tanks. Following a 20% drawing off process, pre-fermentative maceration at low temperatures was performed and the wine was fermented at controlled temperatures of 79° F through selected yeasts, three daily pumping over activities and from one to two delestages per day. It was aged with new French (80%) and American (20%) oak for twelve months and then aged six more months in the bottle before release. This wine was hand crafted by our winemaker, Silvio Alberto, in collaboration with Michel Rolland.

Tasting Notes
Full bodied and complex, it exhibits aromas of cherry, dried fruits, sweet pepper, truffles and cedar with marked notes of herbs and spices that combine with flavors of ripe black cherry, dried tomato, tea and coconut with notes of vanilla and sweet spices that complement the sweet, rounded tannins. This exceptional wine has a great fruit concentration and an oustanding finish.
