On the palate, it is refreshing and full of flavor. Notes of green apple complemented by floral roses and spicy mango, fresh and full of flavour.
The grapes were meticulously sorted by hand before vinification, to ensure the best fruit was selected. The fruit was macerated for 48 hours before being 100% fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for six months in concrete vats to retain the freshness and the varietal characteristics of the Torrontes grape.

| Winery | The grapes are grown in Tupungato, a renowned high-altitude wine district in the north of the Uco Valley. Tupungato is the northernmost sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza, where the climate offers excellent conditions for premium viticulture. The vines are planted at 1,000 meters above sea level and benefit from large diurnal temperature variations which result in a longer growing season. The heat assists in the promotion of sugar levels in the ripening grapes, while the coolness of the night retains acidity levels, achieving healthy and balanced berries. The 40-year-old vines are planted at a density of 12,000 vines per hectare and are trained in arbors. The sandy loam soils offer the vines good drainage. |
