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

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.

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.
