This unique blend presents a harmonious bouquet of floral and fruity aromas. The Criolla Grande and Torrontés contribute vibrant notes of citrus and white flowers, while the Moscatel Rosé adds subtle hints of rose petals and lychee. The Pedro Gimenez imparts a touch of minerality and freshness. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied with a crisp acidity, showcasing flavors of ripe peach, apricot, and a delicate spiciness. The gentle maceration on the skins provides a smooth texture and a beautiful, pale color. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste of stone fruits and floral notes.
This wine is a blend of 50% Criolla Grande, 20% Moscatel Rosé, 15% Torrontés, and 15% Pedro Gimenez. The grapes are hand-harvested in small bins with yields of 9,000 kg/ha. The winemaking process begins with soft and gentle crushing to avoid damaging the berries. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts, without any additives. The wine undergoes skin maceration for 20 days and partial malolactic fermentation. The wine is produced unfined and unfiltered, resulting in a total production of 20,000 bottles.
This versatile wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Its crisp acidity and floral notes make it an excellent match for seafood, such as ceviche, grilled shrimp, and sushi. The light body and fruity flavors complement light salads, fresh goat cheese, and dishes with citrus-based sauces. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with spicy Asian cuisine, where the wine's freshness can balance the heat and complexity of the flavors. Additionally, it is a delightful aperitif to enjoy on its own or with light appetizers.
