Predominantly Malbec, with the balance from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. This is full, rich, complex and polished. A wine of intense flavours and great class from this very fine estate.
There’s something very special going on down a dusty track in one of the farther-flung out posts of Mendoza. A winemaker for years, ‘for other people...’ as he puts it, Walter Bressia has spent decades quietly accruing relationships with growers and has emerged with an eclectic portfolio from six sites that, he believes, represents the very best of the region. Walter Bressia and son Walter, are crafting their own very compelling expressions of the region –these are intensely personal wines. There’s a kind of secrecy to their source, you can visit the vineyards and they are indeed impressive, gnarly old things, beautifully tended, but there is alchemy back at the bodega. Walter’s fabulous finds have been spun into wines of depth and character–production is tiny.
Profundo is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. On the nose there are aromas of dark plum, cherry and oak. An opulent black and beautifully rendered red with great concentration, elegance and length this is an awesome expression of Bressia's vineyards and ambition.
