Bressia Description

Kys

Walter Bressia, owner and winemaker of Bodegas Bressia, has been in the Argentine wine trade since the early 1980's. Before founding his family winery in 2003, he was the winemaker at Bodega Vistalba and Viniterra. Walter and his wife Marita, along with daughters Marita & Antonella and sons Walter Jr. & Alvaro, produce some of Argentina's finest wines.

Walter is one of the most respected winemakers in Argentina, and his concept involves the notion of "Vinos de Autor" (Author's wines) or personalized high-quality wines. Bressia has 320 oak barrels, almost all new French and American oak (60% French, 40% American).

Lagrima Canela means 'cinnamon tears'. This white blend shows an intense greenish-yellow wine with luminous golden highlights. It has fresh, elegant floral aromas, lent to it by its grape varieties, as well as melon, pear and toasty oak. Medium bodied with a creamy texture and outstanding depth and concentration.

"This inspiring, revolutionary blend of Chardonnay with 30% Semillón was first made in 2006 and has been one of Argentina’s best whites ever since. New oak-fermented and aged, with subtle baking spice and toast aromas, waxed lemon, saffron and beeswax flavours, lovely texture and weight and a fresh, tangy finish. 2023-30"

"The style of the white 2020 Lágrima Canela has changed completely;the wine is fresher and less ripe, with a lot less oak. It's a blend of 70%Chardonnay and 30% Semillon from Gualtallary, and it is sharp, freshand citrusy with a mineral sensation lifted by the freshness andacidity. It fermented in 300-liter French oak barrels, where it maturedfor eight months. It's an improvement over previous years. 15,000bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2022. - Luis Gutiérrez"

"The 2020 Blend Lágrima Canela is primarily Chardonnay with 30% Sémillon from the Uco Valley. It was aged for up to 10 months in new French and American oak barrels. Golden in hue. The creamed corn nose features vanilla and toasted cedar notes alongside caramel, honey, and stewed apple. Indulgent and creamy in the mouth, the expansive mouthfeel is enhanced by the refreshing acidity before the prolix, élevage-inflected finish. A continental white made with a nod to California.- Joaquín Hidalgo"

- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (July 2023), 93 pts

"A toasty yet sharp white with aromas of cloves, grapefruit, dried pineapples, toast and burnt lemons. It’s full-bodied with vibrant acidity and concentrated, tasty layers of spiced fruit. Drink now or hold."
