Introduction:
Milamore is Renacer’s ambitious Proprietary Blend, created with a nod to the appassimento and Amarone-style methods, yet firmly rooted in Mendoza terroir. It delivers richness, depth, and dramatic intensity — a wine made for when you want something bold, layered, and deeply satisfying.
Terroir:
Grapes are sourced from premium vineyards in Mendoza (including Luján de Cuyo / Uco), which benefit from high altitude, dry climate, cool night drops, and soil diversity (sand, loam, etc.). Part of the wine’s character comes from allowing a portion of grapes to dry (“appassimento”-style) before blending, which concentrates flavor, sugar, and texture. French oak aging adds complexity and integration.
Appearance:
Deep ruby with purple hues. Opulent, with dense color and signs of extract—legs cling thickly to the glass, suggesting full body and elevated alcohol.
Nose:
Aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and dark cherries intermingle with figs, violet florals, and a touch of honey from the dried component. Spicy notes of black pepper, clove, and herbal undertones appear with time, along with vanilla and smoky oak.
Palate:
Full-bodied and richly textured. Dark fruit flavors dominate—plum, blackberry, and fig—with layered notes of dried raisin-type sweetness balanced by herbal tones and spicy oak. Tannins are firm but polished; acidity is enough to prevent the wine feeling cloying. There’s just a hint of leather or tobacco in the background, adding savory depth.
Finish:
Long, lasting, and powerful. The dark fruit persists, mingled with spice, oak-derived vanilla, and a dry herbal finish that keeps it from becoming overly sweet.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
-
Meet dish: Slow-roasted prime rib or grilled lamb racks with pepper and rosemary
-
Vegetarian option: Portobello mushroom steaks with balsamic glaze and char, or hearty eggplant parmesan with fresh herbs
-
Cheese pairing: Aged Manchego or a robust cheddar that can stand up to the wine’s intensity
Overall Impression:
The 2022 Milamore is a bold, theatrical red blend that showcases Mendoza’s extremes—intense dried and fresh fruit, rich oak spice, and lingering tannins—while staying elegantly structured. It’s a wine that commands attention: perfect alongside richly flavored meats or aged cheeses, this blend offers depth, power, and sustained finish for those seeking richness without compromise.
