The 2020 Fósil San Pablo was produced with Chardonnay from San Pablo, a cooler region where they feel the grape behaves very well, but the variety is not mentioned on the label, where they want to show the Estancia San Pablo landscape, five different soils. The clusters were pressed and the juice fermented in concrete and 30% in 500-liter oak barrels with an élevage in those same containers. The whites don't go through malolactic. This has 13.5% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity but shows more generous with more volume and riper aromas, reflecting a warmer vintage. In this warmer year, they harvested much earlier, two weeks earlier than the 2019 that I tasted next to it. The 2020 is a little darker and more generous. 3,500 bottles were filled in December 2020.

Mendoza is a wine region located in Argentina, known for producing some of the world's finest Malbec wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 16th century when Spanish colonizers first introduced grapevines to the area. Today, Mendoza is home to over 1,500 wineries, making it the largest wine-producing region in Argentina.

The style of production in Mendoza is heavily influenced by the region's unique climate and geography. The area is situated at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, which provide a natural barrier against the Pacific Ocean's cool winds. This results in a dry, sunny climate with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions are ideal for growing grapes with thick skins, which produce rich, full-bodied wines with intense fruit flavors.

The most popular grape variety grown in Mendoza is Malbec, which accounts for over 60% of the region's vineyards. Other red grape varieties grown in the region include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Mendoza also produces some excellent white wines, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Torrontés.

Overall, Mendoza is a must-visit destination for wine lovers looking to explore the world of Argentine wine. The region's unique climate and geography, combined with its rich winemaking history, make it a fascinating and rewarding place to discover new and exciting wines.
