Monjitas Blancas
Mendoza, Argentina
A Gold Medal-winning sampling of Argentinian culture from Monjitas Blancas
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Monjitas Blancas
Torrontés
Monjitas Blancas offers an upbeat taste of an Argentinian classic. While the French-imported grape Malbec has long been the darling of Argentinian red wine, the white varietal Torrontés has always called these soils home.

Our 2021 vintage is medium-bodied and immensely fruity with potent, floral aromas and exotic flavors. If you are a lover of fruit-forward whites, this is an exciting grape to try.

To experience it like a local, serve each glass well chilled alongside salty seafood dishes or tangy cultural cuisines. Scroll thro ...

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.

Our Torrontés smells sweeter than it tastes. This aromatic white displays perfumed scents of sweet potpourri and orange peel. The plush palate is filled with tropical fruit flavors like ripe papaya and citrus blossom. Low acidity levels allow for lush fruit flavors to linger on the palate.

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.
