Marchiori & Barraud 3 Items

Andrea Marchiori & Luis Barraud, the winemakers behind Paul Hobbs's Viña Cobos, are now producing wine under their own label. The duo personally selects grapes from some of the best rows of vines from Andrea's family's own Marchiori Vineyard, known in Argentina as one of the most meticulously farmed and highest quality vineyards in the country. Planted with 50-year old vines, the Marchiori vineyard is situated 3,200 feet above sea level in the best part of Agrelo. Due to the age and sandy loam soil profile of this vineyard, the hand-harvested fruit is very low yielding and tremendously concentrated in flavor. Both wines are aged 18 months in 75% French and 25% American oak barrels, but this is the only intervention the couple believes in, preferring instead to let the fruit and the high quality oak work their own magic.
