Alpasion Grand Chardonnay

Alpasión Grand Chardonnay

This lovely Chardonnay is the only white wine of our “Grand” line.

This wine has only undergone a partial malolactic fermentation, which results in a clean and bright expression of the Chardonnay grape. Notes of green apple, pineapple, lemon curd are backed by a crushed sea-shell minerality.

12 months in French oak barrels lends notes of toasted oak and baking spice.

Alpasión Grand Malbec

This is the wine that everyone loves, our flagship wine and about 80% of our production. A perfect example of a quintessential Malbec from the Mendoza region.

Alpasion Grand Cabernet Franc

A beautiful example of how this Bordeaux varietal expresses itself in Valle de Uco. Ripe red and black fruits with hints of fresh bell peppers and herbs.

A perfect synergy of both the old and new world.

Alpasion Malbec

Alpasión Malbec

This is our “Estate” Malbec. Only 25% of the wine has been aged. As such it is less powerful than our traditional Grand Malbec.

Fresh fruit and light tannins. It is the purest expression of our terroir. Bright red fruit, a hint of spice and fresh potted soil backed by a lively acidity and gentle tannins. Extremely versatile in the glass and even tastier with slight chill.

The History

The Alpasión Winery was founded by a group of wine lovers who decided to make a wine making dream come true. Passion is the driving force behind the project hence we decided to name our inaugural release “Alpasión,” a combination of the Spanish “alma” (for soul) and “pasión” (passion). The Alpasión label features the fingerprints and signatures of all of the winery’s owners. Underlining a highly personal, hands-on project, a partnership driven by passion and friendship for life.

The Alpasión Vineyard is located in the Argentina Uco Valley, which is the area in Mendoza where the highest altitude vineyards are located (between 1,200 and 1,500 meter above sea level) and where some of the world-renowned icons in the wine industry such as Michel Rolland and the Rothschild family are concentrated. Our winemaker, Karim Mussi is one of the most prominent, innovative and passionate winemakers in the region.

The winery owns 85 hectares of land and although not certified just yet, Alpasión practices sustainable organic farming to ensure the health of soils, ecosystems and people. Even part of the vineyard is planted in the shape of a giant fingerprint. You can see the fun result in Google Earth and satellite images, just search for GPS coordinates 33°36’22.51″S, 69°16’54.79″W.
