Tasting note
From a series of experimental ‘small fermentations’. A golden orange wine with floral notes of orange blossom and jasmine, and herbal touches. After opening, spicy notes are perceived. A vibrant wine, with marked acidity that refreshes and a pleasant tension on the palate. It is medium-volume, with good texture and herbal and fruity expression.
Viticulture
Known for its stunning red rock formations, high-altitude Cafayate Valley has an extreme desert climate, poor soils, warm days/ cool nights and very little rainfall makes it easy to practice integrated, sustainable and organic viticulture. Further, the wide thermal amplitude allows grapes to become highly concentrated, resulting in smooth, delicious wines.
Vinification
This wine is made with Torrontés and Moscatel rosé inspired by the style of the orange wines. The white and rosé grapes, which come from old vines planted in 1950 in Finca El Retiro, co-fermented with their skins and seeds in concrete eggs, and were in contact with them for 6 months.
Food Match
Aromatic foods like Middle Eastern or Moroccan cuisine, dishes with lots of spiced, aged cheeses, and even fermented foods like kimchi. Roasted vegetables and hearty grain salads.
