ABOUT THIS WINE:
Añelo
Torrontés
Fabián Valenzuela is a winemaker with a deep connection to Argentine wine. Growing up on a vineyard working under his father and grandfather fostered a lifelong dedication to making high-quality wine. He spent his youth traveling and studying, and is now bringing amazing native Argentine varietals to a new audience. For the Anelo 2016 Torrontés Fabián partnered with the first permanent winemaker at the world-famous Chateau Petrus (whose wines often sell for over $3,000) to make a versatile and elegant wine that represents the best of the Lujan de Cuyo region. Not only is it smooth, but the wine has a strong floral aroma with hints of citrus and white peach that pair seamlessly with seafood and spice. The Anelo Torrontés is a quintessential example of a talented winemaker showcasing the best his unique heritage has to offer, and it is a delightful introduction to this wine region.

WINE REGION:
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.

TASTING NOTES:
White Flowers
Peach
Lemon
The Torrontés grape varietal is known for its moderate acidity and strong aromatics, and that characteristic is on display in the Anelo. A floral bouquet dominates the nose with a subtle touch of peach and citrus preceding a long finish. The Anelo 2016 Torrontés stands up very well to a wide variety of spices and is a perfect wine to pair with Asian and Indian cuisine.
