Colección Privada Barrancas Maipú Navarro Correas 1991
The 1991 Colección Privada is a red wine crafted by Navarro Correas, a family that has been cultivating vineyards since 1890. This wine originates from the producer's own vines in Barrancas, located in the Maipú area of Mendoza. Situated at the foot of the Andes Mountains, Mendoza is widely recognized as Argentina's wine heartland and accounts for the majority of the country's production. The region benefits from a sunny highland climate with cool nights, where the high-altitude vineyards are irrigated by mountain meltwater.
Inspired by the classic blends of Bordeaux, this wine is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most renowned blue grapes for creating structured red wines, frequently grown in regions like Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. It is complemented by Cabernet Franc, a classic grape known for its fresh style, typically found in the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, and California. The addition of Merlot, widely planted in Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy, traditionally contributes to a softer profile. During its production, the wine was aged in French oak barrels.
The Colección Privada series features a distinctive presentation, with the label showcasing artwork created specifically for this collection by Carlos Gorriarena.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Mendoza
Mendoza at the foot of the Andes is Argentina's wine heart and accounts for the majority of the country's production. At high altitude, where meltwater from the mountains irrigates the fields, Malbec thrives above all. The grape produces deep, velvety red wines with ripe dark berries, plum and violets. The sunny highland climate and cool nights give colour, concentration and freshness.
