Red wine | Mendoza, Argentina
Crafted in the heart of Mendoza, Argentina, Viña Junefan's J.SA 20 Barrels 2017 is a testament to the region's celebrated winemaking tradition. This limited-edition blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep ruby color, hinting at the symphony of flavors within. The wine exudes an aromatic profile of ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, interlaced with notes of cedar, vanilla, and a hint of dark chocolate derived from its aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the J.SA 20 Barrels presents a full-bodied experience, with a balanced structure of tannins and acidity. The Syrah contributes to its juicy fruitiness and peppery spice, while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and depth. It offers a harmonious, long-lasting finish. This is the wine of the day and suits perfectly to every dish. It is particularly delightful to accompany hearty dishes such as grilled steak, roasted lamb, or game meats. Its robust structure also makes it an excellent partner for aged cheeses and rich dark chocolate desserts. The serving temperature should be around 18°C (64°F), and allowing it to breathe for at least 20 minutes before serving will further enhance its flavors and aromas. The region of Mendoza, nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, is world-renowned for its high-altitude vineyards, which benefit from abundant sunshine, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils. These conditions contribute to the development of grapes with exceptional concentration and complexity. Viña Junefan honors its heritage by combining time-honored techniques with modern innovation to craft wines that capture the essence of the terroir. Every sip of the J.SA 20 Barrels is an invitation to experience the passion and dedication that goes into producing exceptional Argentine wines. Enjoy the best charm of nature.
