Pulenta Gran Corte 2021
Vintage Character
2021 and 2022 are described by critics as setting the tone for the classic reds of Mendoza. The season gave wines with good freshness and a classic profile rather than extra weight. In 2021, the Gran Corte from Pulenta Estate reflects that season. Gran Corte is the estate's red blend, here with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Tannat. Mendoza sits at the foot of the Andes, and its high-altitude vineyards enjoy sunny days and cool nights. Luján de Cuyo, where Pulenta has its estate, is long associated with perfumed, elegant Malbec.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry lead, with spice, cocoa and cedar. It is dry, full-bodied, with medium-high acidity and high tannins. The palate is full and dry, with firm, ripe tannins and a long finish. With age it can develop tobacco, leather and dried herbs. Roast beef, lamb and aged cheese suit its structure. Serve at about 16 to 18 degrees Celsius in a wide glass, and decant a young bottle for a short time if you like. A blend lets the winemaker balance structure, fruit and tannin from several varieties. Firm cheeses such as Comté also work, as do soy-braised dishes that are not too sweet. A wine of this weight rewards a few minutes in the glass, when the fruit settles and the spice and savoury notes come forward.
Winery Background
Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by the brothers Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta, from a family with generations in Argentine winegrowing. The estate is in Alto Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, at about 980 metres above sea level on the La Zulema vineyard. The aim was to make limited series of high-quality wines that show the varieties and terroirs of Mendoza. Earlier technical sheets for the wine place it on the La Zulema vineyard in Agrelo, planted in 1992. The brothers say they built the winery on the legacy of their grandfather and the experience of their father.
