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. This unique white grape variety is indigenous to Argentina, where it thrives in high altitudes. Cool mountain nights allow for the preservation of unique varietal characteristics and intense aromas. 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. While this bottle’s artistic label makes a colorful addition to the dinner table, this Argentinian wine is also well known for being exceptionally food-friendly. To experience it like a local, serve each glass well chilled alongside salty seafood dishes or tangy cultural cuisines. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.
