Single Vineyard Serenade was introduced in 2001, making Alta Vista the first Argentine winery to produce single vineyard wines. Utilizing their tailored Terroir Management® system for wine growing and winemaking, Alta Vista uses grapes grown in distinctive sites to craft these unique wines that show the true characteristics of each vineyard. All Single Vineyard wines are aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels and an additional 6 months in bottle.

Wine Spectator 92 points (Aug 22 2012) A dense, plush red, exhibiting concentrated kirsch, plum sauce and blackberry compote flavors finely woven with layers of mesquite and mulled spices. Silky tannins frame the long, licorice-tinged finish. Drink now through 2017.—N.W.
