Light red color, brilliant, thin-layered, with a delicate and very attractive appearance.

Subtle and expressive profile: fresh red fruit, floral notes, and a light herbal touch. Fine aromatics, without excess.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Mouth
Light, fresh, and very fluid. Silky tannins, pronounced acidity, and an agile palate that makes it extremely drinkable. Delicate finish with a slightly citrusy aftertaste.
A wine designed for fresh, light, and medium-intensity dishes, where acidity and delicacy mark the balance.
⭐ Duck breast
The duck's fat and texture are balanced by the wine's acidity, while its light profile prevents the dish from becoming too heavy.
A fine, elegant, and very gastronomic pairing.

⭐ Argentine beef tataki
The wine's freshness enhances the dish's clean profile without overpowering it.

⭐ Cod Ravioli
Perfect balance between lightness, texture, and acidity.

▫ Burrata Salad
The acidity of the wine cuts through the creaminess and adds freshness to the overall experience.

▫ Argentine empanadas
An informal pairing, very easy and very enjoyable.
In Las Compuertas, where tradition and innovation coexist, this Criolla Chica represents the fresher, freer side of the project.
A wine born from a historic variety, reinterpreted with a modern perspective: minimal intervention, fermentation in cement, and a short aging period that respects the purity of the fruit.
Here, we're not looking for power, but identity. Not concentration, but fluidity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A light-bodied wine... but full of intention.
