Mythic Wines
Mythic Mountain Chardonnay Mythic Vineyard Chardonnay Viognier Mythic Mountain Red Blend Mythic Mountain Malbec Mythic Estate Malbec Mythic Vineyard Malbec Mythic Vineyard Cabernet Mythic Block Malbec Mythic Barrel Malbec In the Southern Hemisphere lies a Viticultural Eden bathed by an ancient ridge, where pristine glacial waters filter down through nutrient rich earth. This unspoiled paradise is the chosen land for growing vines. It is here where our wines are born. 300 days of sun, deep roots, and alluvial soil create the most ideal of conditions for these MYTHIC Argentine wines. Winemaker Bernardo Bossi Bonilla – winemaker extraordinaire. Bernie spent years honing his skills at Argentine powerhouses Catena, Tikal, and Casarena before embarking on his very own label, MYTHIC. No longer handcuffed by management and bean-counters, Bernardo is afforded the freedom to craft his wines exactly how he sees fit…. quite a rare feat with the proliferation of factory wineries..
