Awards	"The sleek and elegant 2019 Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae is now certified organic (since 2018) and comes from vines planted in 1992 at 1,390 meters above sea level in Gualtallary on alluvial limestone soils. Seventy-five percent of the volume fermented in concrete vats with 50% full clusters, and the remaining 25% fermented in oak foudres. But instead of fermenting the grapes, they only fermented the juice (as it's usually done for white wines), to give the wine more elegance and lightness. I was listening to a record from a new band, Generation Radio, with musicians from Journey and Chicago, and the music had a similar profile to the wine: sleek, elegant, polished, nicely crafted, clean and harmonious, easy to listen to (and drink to) with a soft side to it. The wine has ripeness (14% alcohol) but also high acidity from the high-altitude vineyards, which makes it very lively, beautifully textured, balanced and elegant. Beautiful." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Lots of black fruit with black truffles and dried flowers. Moss and earth, too. Full-bodied and earthy on the palate with blackberry and black earth. Firm, tight finish with juicy fruit at the end. Needs three or four years to open. Drink after 2024." - James Suckling "In the Gualtallary sub-district of Tupungato. 4,500 ft in elevation. Limestone layers of this vineyard are rich in rhizobacteria; thus the name translates to 'elegant microbes of the earth'. In 2019 Tupungato had 20–60% less precipitation and, combined with a cool vintage, yields were lower than normal although fruit was pristine. 75% fermented in concrete with 50% whole cluster, 25% fermented in oak foudre with just juice – no skins. Fermented 8–13 days at 25–30 °C. Aged 18 months in French oak. 450 cases produced. Black cherries, red plums, almond skin and cigar box on the nose. The palate is ripe and round with bright acidity and lift. Light, fine-grained tannin. A whisper of dried herbal character and untoasted cedar on the finish. This is incredibly elegant. The Adrianna Vineyard produces many beautiful wines but this, to me, is the most singular. I only wish I could afford to drink it. (SCJ)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2019 Malbec Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae from Gualtallary, Uco Valley comes from Parcel 3 of the Adrianna Vineyard, which is planted at a height of 4,560 feet in alluvial soils rich in calcium deposits. Aged for 18 months in new and used French barrels, it is a rich purple in hue. A complex, fragrant, aromatic profile of fresh blueberry and blackberry along with hints of plum, country herbs, black tea, lavender and a whiff of violets over a well-integrated bed of oak. In the mouth, it’s sheer elegance. The chalky tannins combine with the juicy freshness in such a way that the delicately balanced palate remains compact without drying out. The finish is a repeat of the nose." - Vinous "Sweet, joyful and full of life, this is immediately really quite vibrant on the palate, the rich, concentrated blackcurrants and black cherries given lift by high acidity and a touch of sweetness as well as saltiness that gives such a brilliant combination of flavours. Complex and confident. I like the styling here, there are hints of bitterness and some spiced edges that give nuance, still quite youthful. Great potential. Consistent winemaking and quality. Fermentation in concrete vats (75%) with 50% whole cluster, the remaining 25% in oak foudres. Ageing 18 months in French oak barrels." - Decanter
