Description

This Torrontes comes from the Mendoza region in Argentina, specifially the Valle de Uco. The grapes are handpicked in small batches. After 8 hours of skin contact the wine is feremented with selected yeasts at 14-16°C. The final result is a pale yellow wine with aromas of white flowers, lychees and a hint of lemon. The palate is summery, elegant and well balanced. This wine pairs well with empanadas, spicy dishes, seafood, and Thai. It has an ageing potential of 1-2 years.

Phebus

The Phebus wines come from the Argentinian winemaker Fabre Montmayou. Hervé J. Fabre, born in the Bordeaux, arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for possibilities to invest in vineyards. He was impressed by the potential and quality of the Malbec grapes which made him decide to build his first vineyard in 1992: Fabre Montmayou. He became one of the pioneers in Argentinian wines made from a single grape variety. The company combines the modern techniques of wine making, the terroir of Mendoza and the “savoir faire” from the Bordeaux for making wines with a unique personality. The grapes come from the best regions in Mendoza and Patagonia.
