About
Real winemakers get their hands dirty. Hands black with wine. That's what Manos Negras is all about. Rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty. That's how we make these hand-crafted wines.
Manos Negras focuses on latitude winemaking. Argentina and Chile's winemaking regions stretch 1,500 miles north to south along the Andes. Each latitude possesses a unique terroir with singular combinations of soil and temperature which are ideally suited for different varietals. Manos Negras uses the unique skills of three immigrants to Argentina-New Zealand winemakers Duncan Killiner and Jason Mabbett, and American wine educator Jeff Mausbach- as well as the renown Argentine viticulturist Alejandro Sejanovich to craft wines based on exciting terroir-varietal combinations.

Review
2009: 88 Points
“The 2009 Pinot Noir from Patagonia. It was native fermented with malolactic in barrel followed by 12 months of aging in 20% new French oak. Toasty oak, earthy mineral, rose petal, cherry, and raspberry aromas titillate the nose while pointing to an elegant, smooth-textured, varietally correct Pinot with good balance and length. Drink this excellent value over the next 3-4 years. $17”

"Light to medium cherry red color; cinnamon, clove, strawberry, and cherry aromas and flavors."
