Insights:
The Chardonnay is partially (30%) aged in French oak barrels for 3-6 months and actually bottled near Manchester. The Reserve range holds 4 reds and 2 white. The other 3 Trivento brands are: Eolo (their top-end wine), Golden Reserve and Amado Sur. As is mentioned on the bottom front label, Trivento is currently an official sponsor for the UK Premiership Rugby. Mendoza produces ca. 2/3rd of the Argentinean wines, with Maipú and Luján being the main departments within.
