Miras Trousseau Nouveau Bodega Miras 2021

Miras Trousseau Nouveau, Bodega Miras, Organic, fresh, nervy, textured, delicious and great value red wine. Trousseau produced by Marcel & Pablo Miras. Light and perfumed, with fresh strawberry, raspberry and light vanilla at the back of the palate. Undertones of Cherry and Cinnamon come through towards the end. Try this lightly chilled for those Sancerre Rouge lovers, or with a earthy mushroom pasta. Trousseau made famous by the good people of the Jura in France is a grape on the up and is starting to pop up all over, we love it, loads of character and freshness, a natural wine lover’s grape for sure.

Bodega Miras is based near the city of Neuquén in Rio Negro province, Patagonia - about 800km south of Mendoza.

Rainfall here is minimal, with semi-desert conditions. Some vineyards do benefit from traditional irrigation from the Rio Negro river though. They work organic vineyards, use natural ferments but also – for now – use more commercial temperature control, gentle fining and filtration, moderate levels of sulphur. There is quite a bit of Trousseau and old vine Semillon planted in the region, as well as Pinot Noir.
