Tasting Notes
Matias Riccitelli Torrontes is crisp and refreshing and is a classic example of this grape type. The nose has fresh and inviting aromas of rose, white peach and citrus. On the palate it is refreshing and full of flavour.
About
Matias vineyards cover 50 hectares located in three selected sites within the premium growing region of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. This Torrontés is an expression of Argentina's signature white grape.
Vineyards: The grapes are grown in Tupungato, a renowned high altitude wine district in the north of the Uco Valley. Tupungato is the northernmost sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza, where the climate offers excellent conditions for premium viticulture. The vines are planted at 1,000 metres above sea level and benefit from large diurnal temperature variations which result in a longer growing season. The heat assists the promotion of sugar levels in the ripening grapes, while the coolness of the night retains acidity levels, achieving healthy and balanced berries. The 40 year old vines are planted at a density of 12,000 vines per hectare and are trained on arbours. The sandy loam soils offer the vines good drainage.
Winemaking: The grapes were meticulously sorted by hand prior to vinification, to ensure the best fruit was selected. The fruit was macerated for 48 hours before being 100% fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for six months in concrete vats to retain the freshness and the varietal characters of the Torrontés grape.
Ideal with...
Light coloured meats such as poultry, fish and tofu because they won't overwhelm the delicate flavour, aroma and acidity in the wine. However, it does also pair berry well with mild spicy dishes.
