Description
What kind of wine is it
San Pedro de Yacochuya Torrontes from the Michel Rolland Collection is an Argentinian still white wine that showcases the Torrontés variety. With a dry and aromatic profile, it stands out for its liveliness and pleasant freshness. In the glass, it shines with a bright pale yellow colour, hinting at an easy-drinking character. Thanks to its structure and rich bouquet, it is perfect for pairing with spicy dishes, cheeses and seafood recipes, also offering remarkable ageing potential.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from Yacochuya, in the renowned Valle de Cafayate in Argentina. The Torrontés vines are rooted in clay-silica and gravel-silica soils, cultivated according to the principles of organic and sustainable viticulture. These are high-altitude vineyards, located at 2,035 metres above sea level. The unique mountain microclimate, combined with the depth of the old vines, encourages a clear aromatic development and delivers a precise, vibrant and highly concentrated taste experience.
How is it produced
The manual harvest involves a double selection of the bunches to work only with perfectly intact grapes. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel in small temperature-controlled tanks, an ideal technique for preserving the natural varietal expression. The wine reveals an exuberant aromatic profile with intense notes of Muscat, lavender, verbena, exotic fruits and white flowers. On the palate, it delivers the full richness of its aromas, balanced by a fresh progression that finishes the sip with energy.
