Process & Profile
Argentinian wines are deeply rooted in the traditions of high-altitude viticulture and meticulous craftsmanship. Most notably, the Mendoza region—a global hub for wine production—boasts vineyards nestled at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, reaching altitudes of up to 5,000 feet. These unique growing conditions provide ample sunshine, cool nights, and low humidity, ideal for producing intensely aromatic and flavorful wines. The bundle includes iconic Argentine varietals such as Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torront√©s. Each bottle reflects years of expertise in balancing traditional techniques, like hand-harvesting and precise oak aging, with innovative practices that extract the essence of Argentina's terroirs.Tasting Notes

- Cabernet Sauvignon: A bold, full-bodied red with dark fruit flavors—black cherry and cassis—with undertones of cedar, bell pepper, and a whisper of toasted oak, offering complexity and structure.
- Torrontés: Argentina's signature white wine is delightfully aromatic, with floral notes of rose and jasmine coupled with zesty citrus and peach flavors. It boasts a crisp finish, perfect for pairing with lighter dishes.
