A spring party in your nose
This is a wine made with 100% Torrontés grapes extracted from vineyards located in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, at 1.300 mts. above sea level. This area has a wide thermal amplitude from day to night, producing grapes with a great natural acidity. Torrontés is similar to other aromatic white wines including Riesling and Moscato. The major difference between Torrontés and these mentioned white wines is that Torrontés is commonly made in a dry style. This makes it a very interesting wine to enjoy because its salty lean taste is in opposition to its sweet perfumed aromas.
This wine shows a medium lemon green colour with silver hues. On the nose is very complex with great intensity, white peach and pears are highlighted, between an elegant an involving floral jasmine fragrance. In the mouth, medium body, delicate acidity, long finish due to its intense perfume.
We can define this wine as a “spring party” in your nose. As soon as you open the bottle a nice aroma of jasmine and peachy notes surrounds the room, a very nice attribute of Torrontés’ wines.
Alcohol: 12% Vol.
Conservation: the bottle should be stored in a dark room without vibrations and at a stable temperature preferably between 6° to 12ºC.
Pairing and Consumption: Matches very well with coconut curries and Thai spice peanut dishes like Chicken Satay, Roast Chicken, Teriyaki Seitan or Curried Shrimps.

Valle del Maule – Maule Valley
The Uco Valley is widely considered one of the top wine regions in Mendoza, and all of Argentina. The annual average temperature is 14 °C (57 °F) and altitudes range from 900–1,500 metres above sea level, having some vines cultivated even in the highest altitude.
The combination of high elevation, alluvial soils, natural irrigation sourced from the Andes Mountains, a long growing season, over 250 sunny days a year, little rain and vast temperature differences between day and night are all conducive to growing quality wine grapes in this region. These climate and geography elements come together to provide excellent fruit ripening and concentration, developing colors, aromas, flavors and textures resulting in wines that are deep in color, intense in aromas and rich in flavors.
Traditionally, the varietals grown in this area are Sémillon and Malbec; together with Bonarda and Barbera in a smaller amount. Currently new varieties as Torrontés are growing very well in this area.
Since the discovery in the 1990s of the correlation between altitude and elegance in wine, new wineries have mushroomed in the Uco Valley. For this reason, Uco Valley is becoming increasingly popular as a wine playground for both Mendoza residents and visitors from overseas.
