Discover all wines from Bodega Monteviejo

ABOUT THE WINE

Bodega Monteviejo is a world-class estate in Tunuyán, Mendoza, owned by the esteemed Péré-Vergé family — renowned for their iconic properties in Pomerol, including Château Montviel and Château La Violette. Under the guidance of Marcelo Pelleriti, one of Argentina’s most celebrated winemakers, Monteviejo produces wines that reflect the elegance of Bordeaux and the power of the Argentinian terroir. The Petite Fleur Blend 2019 is a perfect expression of this vision — meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and a commitment to excellence at every step.

With over 100 hectares of vines planted at high density and at altitude, this estate’s philosophy mirrors that of its Bordeaux counterparts, crafting wines that confidently stand alongside the world’s finest.

TASTING NOTES

This Argentinian Bordeaux-style blend is rich, smooth, and impeccably balanced. Layers of ripe black fruit, plum, and black cherry are supported by earthy black pepper and savoury notes. The palate is wrapped in silky tannins and warm toasty oak spice, creating a wine that is decadent yet refined, with depth and structure that allow it to evolve gracefully over time.

FOOD PAIRING

Best enjoyed with traditional Argentinian Asado steak and Chimichurri, or rich dishes like roasted grouse and lamb osso buco with red wine and rosemary reduction. A natural match for game meats and hearty winter fare.

FRIARWOOD SAYS

This is where Old World finesse meets New World boldness. A truly standout blend that combines the heritage of Pomerol with the energy of the Andes — a must-try for lovers of serious red wine.
