Simple, refreshing whites with a pale robe and a tender mouth, featuring discreet aromas of apple, citrus, fresh herbs and neutral notes. Moderate acidity, best drunk young. Very productive and drought-resistant, it produces easy-drinking whites in La Mancha DO and Valdepeñas DO on the Castilian plateau, and has historically supplied the base for Brandy de Jerez distillation. Native Spanish grape, long the world's most planted by surface area.
Argentina's 2nd province by volume, a very sunny Andean oasis (<30 cloudy days/year). Signature Syrah (~22% of Argentine Syrah): intense, sun-drenched reds with signature notes of blackberry, black plum, pepper, olive, violet and sweet spice, round tannins and vivid fruit. Also fleshy Malbec, supple Bonarda, spicy Tempranillo. Floral, muscat Torrontes and ample Chardonnay in white.
