RED JAW
RED ALLIGATOR
Terroir influenced by glacial erosion, selection of grapes according to sun exposure and aging in barrels with volcanic stones.
The reason for the name
The name Red Jaw represents the alligator's burning heart, its silent power, and its ancient instinct.
The “jaw” is the point where inner fire meets life; the boundary between strength and calm.
This Caiman Edition pays homage to the resilience of beings that survive the passage of centuries, just like this wine, born among volcanic stone, altitude and patience.
A work that breathes fire, time and mountain.
Tasting Notes
Deep red color with dark violet reflections.
Intense aromas of ripe black fruits, violets, cocoa and graphite, with a mineral background and a subtle touch of toasted oak.
On the palate it is powerful and elegant, with enveloping tannins and a persistent finish reminiscent of volcanic stone and damp earth.
A wine meant to stand the test of time.

Origin and Philosophy
Red Jaw – Caiman Edition is born where the mountain meets the ancestral fire.
The terroir of Tupungato, forged by glacial erosion and volcanic rocks, gives rise to a unique soil: extreme, challenging and powerful.
Only 3% of Argentina's grapes come from this region. From there, we select, one by one, the best grapes to create a wine that embodies the strength, precision, and patience of time.
