Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza

Harvest Note
The 2019 vintage will go down as one of the best vintages of the decade with white wines showing outstanding quality. In general, the wines of the vintage should be classified as very good to excellent quality. After a notably cool and dry spring, the cool temperatures and dry conditions continued throughout the growing season, allowing the grapes to hang on the vine and ripen 1-3 weeks longer than normal. This prolonged growing season allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, with the cool temperatures and dry conditions producing lower yields. The result was a great balance between aromatic expression and concentration of flavor and sugars. The wines display elegance and balance with fresh acidity and superb aging potential.
Tasting Note
Bright, pale yellow, with a touch of green. Intense citrus, including pink grapefruit, and fresh herbs. Fresh and fruity on the palate with an elegant, balanced finish.
