Le Petit Voyage Criolla 2024
These wines were born in 2020 with the aim of looking for some unusual grapes and daring winemaking methods. Each of these wines is an invitation to a small journey, an inner journey that will bring you to the Uco valley through a very personal winemaking process. No grape brought to America by the Spanish from Europe during the 16th century could stand the journey, except for the criolla chica which was loaded into the ship in the last stop (in the Canary Islands). Therefore, the variety called criolla comes from this criolla chica (listán prieto).

About brand
Mundo Revés is an Argentine wine project founded by French winemakers Quentin Pommier and Thibault Lepoutre, who chose the Uco Valley in Mendoza as the home for their vision of terroir-driven, low-intervention wines.
Drawing on their French winemaking background and international experience, they explore distinctive high-altitude vineyards in Chacayes, Paraje Altamira, Gualtallary and other exceptional terroirs. Their approach focuses on expressing the natural character of each site through minimal intervention and careful, attentive winemaking.
Mundo Revés produces distinctive expressions of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Bonarda, Semillón, Criolla and other varieties, including limited cuvées made through unconventional techniques such as skin contact and special aging. The result is a portfolio that combines Argentine mountain terroir, freshness, texture and authenticity with a distinctly French sensibility.
