In Spain and Latin America, the term clarete refers to a light red wine, somewhere between a deep rosé and a pale red. This particular cuvée is made entirely from Criolla, a grape variety introduced by colonists in the 16th century that has since taken root at the foot of the Andes. Naturally low in colour and tannins, Criolla produces supple, crunchy, and refreshing wines—perfect served chilled. This tradition is now being revived by producers who embrace simplicity and deliciousness, a profile that’s increasingly appealing to wine lovers. The ideal bottle to pair with charcuterie, empanadas, grilled fish, or vegetable couscous.

(Automatically translated) Is it a rosé or an orange? The correct answer is that this unique and little-known grape variety is often used to make light red wine with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, etc. Beautiful discovery of Argentina:)

(Automatically translated) Wow!!! The Argentines have managed a light red wine LOLLLL!! Natural wine made from an indigenous grape variety called criolla. Very light and the palest red wine I have seen in my 27-year career at the SAQ. A delight at the aperitif. Drung cold as a rosé. To discover!!
