Verum Chardonnay
90 points ('07), Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate: “The unoaked 2007 Chardonnay was made by the talented Alberto Antonini. Medium straw-colored with a slight green tint, the nose offers up poached pear, white peach, and tropical aromas leading to a creamy-textured wine with ripe flavors, lively acidity, and a lengthy, refreshing finish.”

Verum Malbec
An easy-drinking Malbec with aromas and flavors of plums, berries, and violets.

Verum Malbec Reserva
93 points, Wilfred Wong
Concentrated and inky Malbec, with typical Rio Negro aromas of rosemary and mint, as well as blackberries and vanilla.

Verum Merlot
91 points ('07), Wilfred Wong
Aromas and flavors of strawberry jam, cherries, black tea, and cedar. Rich and very well balanced.

Verum Pinot Noir
90 points ('07), Wilfred Wong
Bright and translucent ruby red in color. Elegant aromas of strawberries, raspberries, flowers and herbs. A silky texture with mineral notes. Clone 777.
