About This Wine

Los Antiguos

Torrontés

Hidden vineyards are nestled in the mountains of Argentina, and have been producing beautiful wines for generations, while slowly cultivating little known native varietals. Torrontés, the signature white Argentine grape, grows all over the country. With moderate acidity and a luscious texture, the Los Antiguos 2016 Torrontés has harnessed the beauty of the region and put it in a bottle. It is expressive, complex, and infinitely drinkable, with notes of citrus, rose, and herbs. The bold fragrance and nuanced flavors pair well with seafood and spice, but we think it’s the perfect pre-dinner wine to start a great night with friends. Enjoy discovering the Torrontés, we did.

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.

This wine comes from Lujan de Cuyo, a high elevation region with strong, alluvial soils in the foothills of the Andes mountains. These soil types pull a strong minerality into the grapes yielding elegant and expressive wines that are well reviewed by critics.
