Description
Laura Catena - daughter of the famous wine pioneer Nicolas Catena - set up the La Posta wine series to give the smaller winegrowers of Mendoza their own stage, instead of a nameless spot in the local cooperative. The wines are called La Posta, after the typical local pub that you find everywhere on the side of the road.
The grapes for this Pinot Noir come from the vineyards of Isaías Prieto. They are located in the relatively cool Tupungato, at an altitude of no less than 1200 meters. That's what Pinot Noir likes. The difference in temperature between day and night in particular provides aroma and good acidity. He relies on his delicious fruit, so only 20% of the wine is matured in used French oak barrels. The rest of the wine remained in stainless steel. This produces a delicious glass of Pinot, powerful and balanced, with delicious fruit.
The La Posta Pinot Noir (Glorieta Vineyard) is a delicious glass of Pinot, fruity, powerful and balanced with fresh blueberries and strawberries, ripe plums, jam, elegant and soft, with good acidity, nicely typified for Pinot Noir. Powerful red wine. Delicious with grilled salmon, lamb chops or risotto with mushrooms.

LA POSTA PINOT NOIR MENDOZA GLORIETA 2022
Score
91
A pretty pinot noir with some mossy red berries, dried earth, stones and herbs. Fresh and juicy on the medium-bodied palate with fresh tannins and crunchy raspberries. Quite well-balanced. Drink now.

From: The Uco Valley: Where Diverse Terroirs Work Their Magic (Sep 2023)
The 2022 Pinot Noir La Posta Glorieta is made with grapes from old vines planted in Villa Bastías in the Uco Valley. Half the wine was aged for ten months in second-use French barrels (20%), concrete vats and stainless steel tanks (30%). A bright cherry red in the glass. The nose presents notes of sour cherry and damp earth with subtle hints of oak. The palate is dry and lean, with a tart, silky texture that leads to a rewarding, easy-going mouthfeel.

In the Argentinian tradition, La Posta is a tavern where the (wine) farmers come together for a glass of wine, to share stories about the harvest and of course for their daily siesta. Each La Posta label illustrates a story of these individual families. One sip full of flavor and you will welcome these breeders into your own family, into your glass and into your heart.
Angel Paulucci, from car mechanic to owner of a vineyard.
The Pizzella Family, for the love of nature, these two teachers have left town.
Domingo Fazzio, the dancing winegrower who loves women.
