One of Argentina’s oldest varietals, this rare barrel-fermented white is harvested from 60+ year-old vines and has fresh, clean citrus aromas with a hint of oak.

AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 77 YEARS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 3600 FEET

VINIFICATION

The grapes come from the Paraje Altamira vineyard, Uco Valley . The wine is aged 6 months in 10% barrel oak and 90% non oak.

TASTING NOTES

Enjoy fresh, clean citric and herbal notes. Flavors of citrus, tropical fruit, coconut, and caramel are elegant and soft on the palate. A lovely dose of crisp acidity provides a texture similar to that of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc combined. A super dry and clean finish may make this the ultimate seafood wine.

FOOD PAIRING

Pairs excellently with most seafood dishes. Try with shrimp ceviche, steamed muscles, fresh oysters or grilled lobster.
