2008 Mendoza Torrontes

La Esquina Where Tango Begins is a delightful expression of Torrontés from the renowned Mendoza region. This wine exhibits a light body with a high acidity that dances on the palate, creating a refreshing and invigorating experience. Its fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing vibrant notes of tropical fruits and floral undertones that captivate the senses. The crispness of this wine is complemented by a bone-dry finish, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or simply enjoying on its own. The 2008 vintage is particularly remarkable, reflecting the unique terroir of Mendoza and the craftsmanship of its producers. This wine is not only a testament to the elegance of Torrontés but also an invitation to immerse oneself in the lively spirit of Argentine culture.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
