The wine region of Famatina
Andean valley of La Rioja Argentina between the Famatina and Velasco ranges, altitude vineyards 900-1,400 m, arid climate with strong temperature swings. Torrontes Riojano reigns in white: brilliantly aromatic with jasmine, rose, citrus, lychee, white peach and honeyed touch — the world apex of Argentina's emblematic grape, lively and refreshing. Dense Malbec (blackberry, plum, violet), peppery Syrah, supple Bonarda, Cabernet as complement. Floral high-altitude whites.
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: 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.
