Continuous innovation and an unwavering work spirit have allowed Luigi Bosca to achieve a solid position in worldwide markets.

Gala 1 is selected from the finest parcels within the estate vineyards of La Linda, La Espana, Los Nobles and Las Compuertas. Vines are on average 50 years old and sit at elevations up to 960 meters. Soils vary from limestone rubble and silt, to calcareous to sandy-loam. Grapes are handpicked, sorted and destemmed followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wines are blended and aged in 100% new French oak cask for 14 months. A full-bodied red with generous ripeness and depth. Plush, yet focused with polished tannins and a round mouth feel. Full of ripe black fruit, as well as some tar and asphalt. Delicious blend of malbec, petit verdot and tannat. Drink or hold. JS: 93Pts; Tim Atkin: 92Pts
