El Vistaflorino Alma, a testament to the vibrant spirit of Vista Flores, captivates with its deep hues of violet and dark red. Crafted by Damián Nuñez, this blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot emanates aromas of black fruits interwoven with spicy, herbal, and floral notes. With a powerful yet silky character, it enchants the palate with its persistent finish. Handpicked and meticulously fermented, this wine embodies his family's dedication. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, it harmoniously blends the unique traits of each varietal, reflecting our terroir and philosophy. Named after Damián's daughter, this limited-production gem, now available in the United States for the first time, invites you to experience the allure of Vista Flores. Pair it with nature cheeses, game meat, red meat, or spicy cuisine for an exquisite culinary journey.

How it started: Only a few miles from our vineyard we kept passing a sign, in front of a small house, that said "Vinos De Garage" or Garage Wines. After passing many times, Zane contacted them on Instagram and made an appointment to stop by with Mindy and some friends. What we found was Damián Nuñez making outstanding wines in what was formerly his tiny garage. El Vistaflorino refers to one who grew up in Vista Flores, the tiny town nearest our vineyard, and Damián is turning into a hometown favorite by producing high-quality very small production wines. After several visits we were able to talk him into parting with a few of his wines and allowing us to bring them to the United States for the first time ever. This wine is named after his Daughter.

Winemaker Notes
WINEMAKER: Damián Nuñez. El Vistaflorino was born from the idea of having our own wine, made by our own hands, so we decided together as a family to start making artisanal wines in the garage at home. The venture began in March 2019 when we decided to buy high quality grapes in Los Chacayes, located in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina. We fulfilled our dream of being able to ferment our first wine at home, located at Vista Flores, Tunuyán. After a lot of effort and help from family and friends, we managed our first limited batches of wines. Today we are happy to present you with our 2021 wines.
Food Pairings
Blend to pair with nature cheeses such as provolone, cheddar, parmesan and Emmental, game meat, red meat, Asian or spicy food, pasta and rice based on red sauces and meat.
Other Notes
We suggest serving it at a temperature between 16 and 18 ºC (60-64 F)
