The wine region of San Juan
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.
The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
