Savor the zesty bouquet of flowers in this 93 Point, Double Gold medal-winning Monjitas Blancas Torrontés
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Monjitas Blancas
Torrontes
Torrontés is a white grape that is known in insider wine circles as a hidden gem. This grape produces wines with prodigious aromas. We love the exotic floral notes of hibiscus, orange blossom, and gardenias that play off of the crisp, sweet citrus flavors. The Monjitas Blancas has these flavors as well as a prominent mineral structure that rounds out the wine. These notes meld together in an elegant and dry finish. The wine works as well on its own as it does with a meal. The complexity does lend itself to pairing with difficult dishes, and in particular, we have been enjoying this wine with spicy Asian cuisines. Judges love it too. It took home 93 Points and a Double-Gold Medal at the 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition.

WINE REGION:
Argentina
Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Monjitas Blancas
The Monjita Blanca is native to Argentina. This small, energetic bird is recognized by the striking contrast between its bright white plumage and solid black wingtips. At Monjitas Blancas, we believe that, like birds, grapevines too can migrate to new lands and flourish among the local floral and fauna. Our collection encompasses Argentina's most well-known indigenous varietals along with popular, international grapes that have found great success in South American soils. Like our namesake, we too are made to stand out with our eye-catching design, upbeat attitude, and vibrant Argentinian flare.
