Shorter than a Bordeaux. Wide, balloon-shaped bowl. Slightly tapered rim. Built for delicate aromas that need room to bloom.
The big bowl gives air maximum contact with the wine, letting fragile aromas escape. The tapered top then concentrates that perfume right under your nose.
The wine lands on the front of your tongue first, where you perceive sweetness and fruit — exactly what these grapes do best.
Argentina's high-altitude vineyards, particularly in Mendoza's Uco Valley, receive intense sunlight and experience dramatic temperature shifts between day and night. This slows grape ripening, resulting in rich flavors, balanced acidity, and smooth tannins.
We recommend booking tastings at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for prestigious wineries. Focus on one sub-region per day (like Luján de Cuyo or Uco Valley) to minimize travel time and enjoy a relaxed pace.
Torrontés, Argentina's signature white wine, is highly aromatic with floral notes. It pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, fresh seafood, and traditional Argentine empanadas (especially those containing corn or cheese).
