The cuvee "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge" literally means "The Little Red Riding Hood" as a reference to the appellation name Pic Saint Loup ('loup' means 'wolf' in French). It pairs with "The Big Bad Wolf" Pic Saint Loup red wine.
The word play with 'loup' also refers to the Pic Saint Loup land "Garrigue" (Mediterranean aromatic herbs and olive trees), which participates to the "wild" personality of the wines.
Shining Rosé colour. The nose reflects fresh red fruit notes, sour candies with a hint of citrus. A round and fresh mouth revealing a highly aromatic power.

Very deep color, intense red with purple hues. Clean and bright. The nose features clearly defined black fruit, led by blackberries. Notes of creamy strawberry toffee, blackberry jam and a balsamic touch reminiscent of licorice lozenges. The palate is fresh and intense, well balanced with medium acidity. Medium persistence, direct and easy to enjoy.

An extremely vivid, light-yellow hue with a greenish and lively undertone. The aroma is rich and inviting, with aromas of roasted almonds, apricots, peaches, pears, lemon zest, and flowers. Flavor-wise, this wine is linear and well-structured, with a concentration on stone fruits and a smooth, balanced acidity. On the back end, the wine has a crisp citrus flavour and minerality which keeps it lively and refreshing. The aftertaste of this wine is very long and satisfying.

On the nose, there are aromas of garrigue, black olive, liquorice and pine. The palate, with a contained power, offers a slightly spicy finish.

In its early years, we advise you to open the bottle a few hours in advance or to decant it. This wine will go perfectly with a leg of lamb, stuffed vegetables, and nice creamy cow cheeses.

Santa Julia’s new proposal for those who prefer light, fresh, fruity wines that are very easy to drink, Nacional pays tribute to two flagship varieties in Argentina: 60% Semillón and 40% Torrontés. With a long-standing history in Mendoza, Semillón’s best expression is achieved in cool, mild climates like that of Uco Valley’s, while Torrontés is Argentina’s single native grape variety.

Deep dark purple colour, with a rich and generous nose. Aromas of ripe dark fruits, plums and chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full with sweetened smooth tannins. Hints of toasted notes from the barrel aging.

Food pairing: pair with BBQ red meats, braised or stewed meats, aged hard cheeses or meaty and spicy pizzas.
