| Awards | "Tasting the 2020 Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae next to the 2019 showed a different aromatic profile of darker fruit, denoting ripeness and sun. The wine was still very young with a luxurious, creamy texture and mouthfeel. 2020 was an extremely dry year (70% lower than the average with just 282 liters!), and the grapes were picked two to three weeks earlier. It has a bright, saturated color and a heady nose with ripe berries and a spicy, smoky twist from 19 months in oak vats. It's medium to full bodied, with a soft texture and velvety tannins, sleek and seamless. 5,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Fascinating nose of blue flowers, blueberries, sea shells, moss and lemon grass. It’s medium-bodied with ultra-fine, silky tannins. So fresh and elegant with bright, saline character. Still a little reserved. Try after 2024." - James Suckling "The 2020 Malbec Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae hails from a small parcel of a vineyard in Gualtallary, Uco Valley and was barrel-aged for 18 months. Dark purple in the glass. The expressive, layered nose delivers notes of blackberry, plum, lavender and violet with a pinch of herbs. Intense and concentrated but agile in feel, the palate is taut, while the fine-grained, chalky tannins are enlivened by the acidity, which teases out the lovely ripe flavors toward the end. This is a substantial but juicy red, everything you’d want from a high altitude wine." - Vinous "From the 1.4ha vineyard at almost 1,3900m elevation, this 100% Malbec is intensely fragrant and floral on the nose with milk chocolate and pink flowers. So lovely, smooth, silky and chalky, a subtle and satisfying balance between lively acidity, concentrated fruit and knitted tannin structure. Ripe but controlled, gorgeous salinity and spice throughout as well as pure blackcurrant and cherry fruit. Savoury aspects dominate the finish but this has a lot to like and feels well constructed with a juicy core. A gorgeous wine with serious ageing potential. The long finish makes you want another glass straight away. Ageing 18 months in French oak barrels. Winemaker Alejandro Vigil." - Decanter "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)" - 18+/20, Jancis Robinson over de 2019-vintage |
