Basement Composition and Basin Geometry Controls on Upper-Crustal Deformation in the Southern Central Andes (30–36° S)
Geol. Mag.: page 1 of 17 c Cambridge University Press 2016 1 doi:10.1017/S0016756816000364 Basement composition and basin geometry controls on upper-crustal deformation in the Southern Central Andes (30–36° S) ∗ ∗ ∗ JOSÉ F.

Av. Ruiz leal s/n Parque General San Martín, Mendoza (5500) Argentina ‡Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra, Universidad de Concepción, Victor Lamas 1290, Barrio Universitario, Concepción, Casilla 160-C, Chile (Received 13 December 2015; accepted 5 April 2016) Abstract – Deformation and uplift in the Andes are a result of the subduction of the Nazca plate below South America. The deformation shows variations in structural style and shortening along and across the strike of the orogen, as a result of the dynamics of the subduction system and the features of the upper plate. In this work, we analyse the development of thin-skinned and thick-skinned fold and thrust belts in the Southern Central Andes (30–36° S). The pre-Andean history of the area determined the formation of different basement domains with distinct lithological compositions, as a result of terrane accretions during Palaeozoic time, the development of a widespread Permo-Triassic magmatic province and long-lasting arc activity. Basin development during Palaeozoic and Mesozoic times produced thick sedimentary successions in different parts of the study area. Based on estimations of strength for the different basement and sedimentary rocks, calculated using geophysical estimates of rock physical properties, we propose that the contrast in strength between basement and cover is the main control on structural style (thin- v. -

Chilean Syrah from a Standing Start, Syrah Has Made It to Number Six in Chile’S Wine Pop Charts in Less Than 20 Years
PANEL TASTING Chilean Syrah From a standing start, Syrah has made it to number six in Chile’s wine pop charts in less than 20 years. And this could be just the beginning, says Peter Richards MW The sTory of syrah in Chile is not a straightforward one. It’s a tale still in the telling, with a murky past, highs and lows, capped by an uncertain future trajectory. This makes it intriguing, especially given that for some time it has been generating a good deal of excitement among wine lovers in the know. The key thing is that there are many – from drinkers to producers and wine critics alike – who hope that this is one saga with a happy ending. The history of syrah in Chile is a matter of debate. records suggest it may have arrived as early as the first half of the 19th century, in the Quinta Normal nursery project in santiago. Its commercial origins in the country, however, are most commonly attributed to Alejandro Dussaillant, a french immigrant who arrived in Chile in 1874 and planted vineyards in the Curicó region which included ‘gross syrah’. (Though this could equally have been the aromatic savoie variety Mondeuse Noire, which goes under this epithet and, according to Wine Grapes, is a close relative of syrah.) either way, by the early 1990s there was scant trace of syrah in Chile, the theory being that, even if it had been there, it was lost in the agrarian reforms of the 1970s. This started to change in the mid-1990s. -

FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , a RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, Owner and Director of Fabre Montmayou, Was Born in Bordeaux, France, to a Family of Wine Negociants
FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , A RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, owner and director of Fabre Montmayou, was born in Bordeaux, France, to a family of wine negociants. When he arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for opportunities to invest in vineyards and start a winery, he was impressed by the potential for Malbec in Mendoza. As a true visionary, he bought very old Malbec vineyards, planted in 1908, and built the Fabre Montmayou winery in the purest Château style from Bordeaux. The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that the company bought. For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza. With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, Mendoza’s terroir and the Bordeaux “savoir faire” to produce wines of unique personality. MENDOZA, ARGENTINA Mendoza Province is one of Argentina's most important wine regions, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country's entire wine production. Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world, with the average site located 600–1,100 metres (2,000–3,600 ft) above sea level. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments Maipúand Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo. -
2017 the Owl and the Dust Devil Icon Blend ESP.Pptx
2017 THE OWL & THE DUST DEVIL ICON BLEND En la vendimia 2017 el varietal predominante del corte es el Malbec. Un vino complejo, armónico y de muy buena estructura como resultado del meticuloso trabajo de ‘ assemblage’ . La composición de la vendimia 2017 de Malbec ( 50% ), Cabernet Sauvignon ( 20% ), Petit Verdot ( 16% ), Tannat ( 11% ) y Cabernet Franc ( 3 % ) es el origen de un vino con intensas notas frutales, viva acidez y una perfecta estructura tánica. VENDIMIA 2017 La cosecha 2017 se presentó con un invierno moderado y seco, con temperaturas levemente más cálidas de lo habitual. Una primavera seca y fría, sorprendió con una helada tardía. Esta redujo naturalmente los rendimientos de nuestro viñedo Remolinos, pero no así su calidad, que se vio incrementada brindando una mayor concentración de fruta en nuestros vinos. Durante los meses de cosecha (Marzo – Abril), se presentaron precipitaciones aisladas, las cuales no fueron suficientes para generar una alteración en la consistencia de los mismos. REMOLINOS VINEYARD, AGRELO, MENDOZA Las uvas provienen exclusivamente del sector Oeste de nuestro viñedo Remolinos, ubicado a 1050 metros sobre el nivel del mar, en Agrelo, Mendoza. Las vides se plantaron en suelos de bajo vigor, gruesos y ricos en gravas. Cuidadas artesanalmente, las plantas fueron deshojadas en la canopia que mira al Este y raleadas hasta dejar sólo un racimo por brote. Las mismas fueron cosechadas manualmente en pequeñas cajas del 29 de Marzo al 11 de Abril del 2017. ELABORACIÓN Todas las uvas que procesamos en Finca Decero pasan por 4 rigurosas etapas de selección, dos de ellas en viñedo y las restantes en bodega, llegando a una selección óptima de cada grano de uva que ingresa a nuestros tanques de acero inoxidable, donde se realiza la fermentación alcohólica. -

Nowadays, we are doing an honest interpretation of the place, of what Chile is, and in specic, the Aconcagua Valley.” Francisco Baettig, Winemaker Director of Viña Errázuriz GREAT RECOGNITIONS Las Pizarras Chardonnay 2018 once again was positioned among the best white wines of the guide, also getting important recognitions as The Best Chardonnay and The Bests of Aconcagua, with 96 points. In addition, its equivalent, Las Pizarras Pinot Noir 2018 also was awarded with 96 points, positioning among the The Best Pinot Noit of Chile. Both wines come from the Aconcagua Costa appellation, costal area of the Aconcagua Valley, located 12 km from the Pacic Ocean.
