The wine region of La Rioja
Wine province of northwest Argentina, historical cradle of national viticulture at over 1,100 m altitude. Torrontés Riojano signature as king white: aromatic and expressive with signature notes of rose, jasmine, white peach, citrus and a musky touch, dry yet round palate — the most expressive of Argentina's three Torrontés, cousin of Muscat. Also dense Malbec, spicy Syrah, supple Bonarda, firm Cabernet. Dry sunny continental climate, drip irrigation.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
