Producer
Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by brothers Hugo and Eduardo Pulenta, fourth-generation winemakers, with the goal of translating their family legacy and their father´s pioneering spirit into a modern, innovative winery focused on producing limited quantities of great wines. They have quickly carved out a reputation for precise, elegant wines across a range of varieties and premium price points. The estate consists of two vineyards located in key areas of Mendoza: Finca La Zulema in Agrelo and Viñedos Don Antonio in Los Arboles, a district of the Uco Valley. These contrasting vineyards have complex alluvial soils and distinct altitudes which, when blended, help give Pulenta wines their distinctive style, combining finesse, silky texture and elegance with the typical power and depth of fruit that is expected of Argentinian wines.
Vineyard
The grapes come from from both Finca La Zulema and Viñedos Don Antonio vineyards. The grapes were harvested by hand in three different vineyard passes to ensure optimal fruit ripeness, with further selection occurring in the winery.
Winery
Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures and the wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine then spent 3-5 months on its fine lees before bottling.
