Technical Details
Description
In keeping with Susana Balbo's pioneering spirit, this wine showcases white grape varieties from Argentina's high-altitude vineyards of Altamira in the Uco Valley.
The vineyards for this wine were hand-harvested and located at an elevation of 3,500 feet. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon: 6 hour maceration with dry ice in the press (previous to the pressing), pressing and racking to concrete eggs. Fermentation with wild yeasts. Torrontes: pressing without maceration. Fermentation in stainless steel tank. Aged on the lees for a month to improve the mouthfeel. Final blending and racking to barrels (batonage once a month). Aged 4 months in 60% first use French oak barrels and
40% second use.

Tasting notes
A very aromatic wine with floral and citrus notes
combined with touches of fresh grass, white fruits
and orange. In the mouth, floral flavors, fresh and
fruity, combine perfectly with the unctuousness of a
perfect aging in barrels. Its finish is mineral and
persistent. Great potential for aging. A great pairing for fish, rabbit, roasted chicken and Asian food with spicy sauces.
