Tasting note
Vibrant Torrontés, a fruity white variety from Argentina, exhaling tropical fruit and delicate aromas of roses and orange peel.
Viticulture
Calchaqui Valley, an isolated desert at 1,600 meters, hosts the world's highest vineyards. Wide thermal amplitude, poor rocky soils, and Andean irrigation yield wines with concentrated color, aromas, and flavors. The dry climate, minimal rainfall, and 300 days of sunshine create a unique fruity character.
Vinification
Harvested by hand. Three different vinification techniques are used: 30% of the juice is cold macerated, 60% undergoes traditional fermentation and 10% is aged in small American barrels for 6 months. The last 10% goes through malolactic fermentation using selected lactic bacteria. The wine is blended following on from the different fermentations.
Food Match
Excellent wine to combine with spicy foods like Asian and Latino as well as seafood, ceviche and sushi.
