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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
