A refreshing red wine, light in style showcasing the beautifully delicate signature pale color of Negra Criolla. Highly aromatic and full of energy; lots of fresh strawberries, spicy, with notes of cranberry and smoked strawberries. Acidity and tannins on point for a supple and crisp palate.

Jardín Oculto
Founded in 2019, Jardín Oculto is a small winery that celebrates Bolivian heritage by producing minimum intervention wines made only from Criolla varieties as well as “Vischoqueña”, a native to Bolivia, found nowhere else on the planet.
Located above 2.300 m.a.s.l. in the Cinti Valley, the vines used are ancient, some of them estimated to be 200 years old that have grown wrapped around molle and chañar trees climbing up more than three meters. This form of management, despite being the most natural, is rare in the world of viticulture, turning these vineyards and their wines into true hidden treasures.
It falls rather under the orange wine types but it has all the character of a red one. I was looking for something that as different (and good) as European wines and I was not disappointed.
