Graffigna Unveils Centenario Elevation Red Blend

03 Nov 2015 --- Graffigna, one of the world’s fastest-growing Argentine wine brands, has launched its latest creation: Graffigna Centenario Elevation Red Blend – a wine created from premium grapes from some of the highest peaks in Argentina.

The latest addition to the Graffigna portfolio, Graffigna Centenario Elevation Red Blend combines five grapes for a wine of incredible depth and complexity. The elegance of Malbec is expertly blended with the ripe red and blackberry flavors of Bonarda, the spicy notes of Syrah, the intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon and the structure of Tannat.

In 1870, founder Santiago Graffigna planted vines in the shadow of the mighty Andes, with an understanding that altitude would enhance the quality of local red varietals. Graffigna Centenario Elevation Red Blend pays tribute to his vision, and delivers a powerful, exceptional wine – with high altitudes contributing to its intense color, deep fruit flavors and food-friendly freshness.

Alejandra Presa, Graffigna marketing director, said: “Graffigna is proud to be leading the way in modern Argentine winemaking. This new premium red wine is both a tribute to our pioneering founder, and a showcase of the elevated quality that can be achieved at altitude.”

Deep purple in color with prominent red hues, Graffigna Centenario Elevation Red Blend is a full-bodied wine with rich blackberry flavors underpinned by spice, vanilla and dark chocolate notes. It pairs perfectly with grilled red meat, game and stews.
