Atamisque 'Serbal' Pinot Noir 2023

Atamisque ‘Serbal’ Pinot Noir is a very pretty wine with bright strawberry and cherry fruit flavours. It has the depth of fruit that you would expect from a New World wine but a lightness and elegance more associated with Burgundian Pinot Noir. A delicious, fresh wine that is fantastic with lamb, game or perfect for idle sipping.

Bodega Atamisque is located within the district of San Jose in Tupungato in Argentina’s Uco Valley. The winery, which also encompasses a golf course, guest accommodation, a tasty restaurant and a trout farm, is owned by Frenchman John Du Monceau and his wife Chantal, whose grandfather was a winemaker in Burgundy. The couple’s French elegance shines through in the wines which all have great purity, finesse and fruit character, especially the Serbal range, which is unoaked and solely focused on bright, vibrant fruit flavours. Malbec is the obvious star, but the Cabernet Franc is one of the finest examples we’ve tasted. They have no desire to be a big winery and believe in quality over quantity which is why they only use fruit from their own estate owned vineyards.
