Oceano La Bodega is located in Viedma - Rio Black and only sell their wines to foreign markets, currently being sold to Australia, Brazil and understand that something the U.S.. 19/11 On Friday I was invited to visit the winery and I was able to see the current status of the project and the desire that the brothers put this Lascano. I am forced to sever the note because I tried too hard and dialogue samples from the steel tanks and oak barrels, accompanied by Jorge Lascano.
The winery has a production capacity of 275,000 liters and in 2010 it produced 120,000 liters on the other hand and in order to access foreign markets the wines are made organically and with very low levels of sulfites. I was very interested to observe care in monitoring and "traceability" of the wine from the vineyard, to the steel tanks and oak. That is, vinified separately and are not just pictures of grapes, but what level of detail rows in order to make wine every part of the crop at its optimum maturity.
Finally, Jorge told me that at year end would be facing and sales in the domestic market, with some lines of wine.
Let the white wine, a Sauvignon Blanc that had ever tried at other times in the bottle, now I also try from tanks harvest 2009 and 2010:
OVERSEAS Sauvignon Blanc:
2007 (export to USA): golden yellow evolved. Mild aroma with pineapple, butter and a little sherry for his age. In the mouth it is smooth and round, with moderate acidity present in the center of the mouth and persistent media.
2009 (stainless steel tank.) pale yellow. Mild aroma of pineapple and caramel - smoking. In the mouth it is smooth, cool and smooth with medium acidity, center forward presence in the mouth and medium persistence.
2010 (stainless steel tank.) yellow and greenish. Aromas of pineapple and pink grapefruit. In the mouth is nervous, delicate and penetrating, with very good acidity, presence center - side of the mouth and high persistence.
Conclusion: I had really enjoyed the time in 2007 I tried it, but today is very advanced, but also no longer for sale, but lost a bottle in the cellar, which was the one who tried. All three have this pineapple aroma and persistence in the medium to medium / high. The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is a typical Patagonian without the aromatic descriptor "cat pee" often have some SB de Mendoza.
2010 is a "great wine", with very good volume of aroma, a lot of concentration, excellent acidity and a persistent medium / high.
When we talked about the high concentration of 2010, Jorge I noted that the steel tank was smaller than that of 2009. It happened that in 2010 earned less grapes because the weather was less kind, and was obtained less wine and more concentration on its features, result: a vinasse.
