					<description><![CDATA[Nosotros line celebrates the efforts of all the people who work day by day to make this wine and it is considered the winery’s “selection of selections”.

This wine celebrates our story of courage, which began 25 years ago with the dream of the founder, Susana Balbo, the first female winemaker in Argentina. A second dream came true in 2012 when her two children, José and Ana, joined the family business.

The Nosotros Library Edition Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 from Valle de Uco is a wine that stood out in that vintage and was stored in the family cellar. Today, we celebrate the 25 years with this grape variety, which we see as one of Argentina's hidden gems, as well as Susana's favorite variety.

					<description><![CDATA[From the very beginning, Susana Balbo has been dominating the art of breaking the rules. She was a pioneer in Torrontés wines, transforming this traditional grape of Argentina into an emblematic one. Her first harvest broke the rules by creating a premium style of Torrontés distinguished by its elegant notes of white flowers, pear and ripe peach.
In a few words: dry, fresh and aromatic.

					<description><![CDATA[Brioso means “a fervent love of challenge” and expresses a passionate spirit to create a wine that reaches the most sublime quality. Refined and elegant, this blend is the result of the combination of my oenological skills and knowledge and the uniqueness of Agrelo, one of the best terroirs in Argentina.

Susana Balbo is regarded as Argentina's finest female winemaker, and this Brioso is a great wine which showcase her talents. It's consistently good quality year on year with recent vintages aiming to be more European in style, less fruit driven and more traditional Bordeaux.

The result is a vertical wine with ultra-fine grained tannins, long after taste and great ageing potential.

					<description><![CDATA[Many Malbec associate with powerful, robust and sweet-fruited red wines, but Susana Balbo chooses instead to emphasize the elegant fruity and minerality of the grape variety. 
Made with purchased grapes from Altamira, this impressive, limestone-influenced Malbec contains 4% Merlot in this vintage. 
It’s a scented, well balanced expression of the grape with bright acidity, crunchy blackberry fruit, well integrated oak and filigree tannins. More evidence of the change of style here.
