rosell boher

Encarnación Rosell Boher founded Cavas Rosell Boher in 1900, aged just 18 years old! In other words, this is no flash in the pan fizz; tradition and generations of expertise lie at the heart of these wines. Everything here is done on a very small scale and entirely by hand, from harvesting the grapes, grown in the Uco Valley at approximately 1,200 metres ASL – an ideal location for making the perfect base wines – to riddling and disgorging. It’s a bit like going back in time or visiting a long-lost cousin of the great Champagne Houses. ll of the wines are, of course, produced in the traditional method with a second fermentation in bottle,

and all of the wines, even the most accessible price-wise – Casa Boher Extra Brut – enjoy extensive lees ageing in bottle, a minimum of 18 months and up to 5 years or more for the very top-end wines. Rosell Boher Rosé and Encarnación both have a minimum of 24 months. These are fantastic wines. Yes, it might be a stretch, or even a leap of faith, to think about Argentine sparkling wines competing with some of the best from France – and England! – but taste them and then decide.
