Two of his most interesting wines are the Alma 4 Bonarda and Alma 4 Syrah, both red grape sparklers made as red wines.
What do you recommend as a serving temperature for the red sparklers? I have an Australian sparkling Shiraz (75%) Cabernet (25%) which I have been wanting to open but was unsure whether to the cool the wine. I assume the Shiraz will be about as assertive as the Alma 4 Syrah.
Gaucho100K, as has been said many times, you are an outstanding asset to this forum and I find your comments immensely helpful, since after many years of delay I am planning my first visit to Argentina in March.
