Description

Familia Vicente Pearce (FVP Wines) is a small production, family run winery making single vineyard wines from our Azcuénaga Vineyard in Lunlunta, Mendoza.  It is run by Juan Pablo Vicente in Mendoza, Argentina and Shawn Pearce (holds a UC Davis Winemaking Certification) based in Buffalo, NY.

"Corte" is our Bordeaux-inspired red blend showing the best of the vineyard each year.  We allow the blend components to change each year as needed to produce the best possible blend.  Corte 2017 is 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Cabernet Franc, and 29% Merlot.

This Corte 2017 red blend aged 15 months in 225 liter French oak barrels and then 2 years in bottle before release. 170 cases made. 

TASTING NOTES: CORTE 2017

Color: Bright medium garnet.  
Aroma: Fruit forward nose of black cherry and black raspberry with hints of light floral and strawberry.  
Palate: Nice body and well balanced with a medium acid and tannin profile focused mid-palate.  It delivers dark cherry and blackberry with blueberry, dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla.  
Finish: Clean with light fruit and tannins sticking to tongue and cheeks.

About this company

Familia Vicente Pearce (FVP) grows wine grapes in Mendoza, Argentina and makes single vineyard red and rosé wines sourced from our Azcuenaga Vineyard planted in 1990. Our team lives in both Mendoza and the USA. The Vicente and Pearce families came together when a girl from Mendoza, Argentina met a guy from Buffalo, NY. We bought the Azcuenaga Vineyard together in 2011. Our focus is on high quality single-vineyard red and rose wines that we love to drink and that reflect their origin here in Lunlunta. We specialize in Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and our Bordeaux-inspired Corte, a single vineyard red blend. Our reds spend at least 12 months in oak (225 and 500L barrels), they undergo cold maceration and temperature controlled fermentation, are unfined, and have only the minimal free sulfites for stability (~30ppm). We are a small family owned and operated business expecting to bottle 1,000 cases in 2022. FVP Wines are imported to the USA by PEVI WINE IMPORTER, LLC in Buffalo, NY.
