Awards: Selected as Best Blend in Argentina at the Wine Makers competition
Château Brandsen Blend 2023 is the ultimate expression of elegance and structure from Altieri Family Winery, inspired by the historic residence locally known as the “Château on Brandsen Street”. This blend is crafted from selected vineyards in Perdriel and Agrelo, two classic areas of Luján de Cuyo, where the dry continental climate and silt-and-sand soils allow for precise, balanced ripening of each variety.
The blend brings together Malbec, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented separately to preserve each component’s identity, then assembled to achieve complexity, depth, and harmony.
"It shows an elegant and expressive profile, with aromas of ripe red fruits, fresh herbs, and subtle notes of spices and chocolate. On the palate it is broad and structured, with firm, juicy tannins, great balance, and a long, silky, persistent finish."
A refined, classic blend—recognized nationally as one of the top examples in its category.
