About This Wine

Old Quarter

Torrontés

Argentina is primarily known for big bold red wines, but Torrontés throws this reputation on its head as a beautifully aromatic white wine. The varietal thrives in Mendoza’s famously high altitude vineyards where dry, hot conditions and a significant diurnal shift in temperature allow fruit to fully ripen while also maintaining natural acidity. This wine features a stunning bouquet of white flower aromatics and tropical fruit flavors on the palate. A lingering and elegant finish makes this perfect for pairing with spicier foods.

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.
