Premio otorgado: Rieslingo 2021. Insólito Riesling 2021.
Originally from Balcarce, Buenos Aires. Es un vino de color amarillo con un brillo otoñal. Aromas a mango, nardo, piel de manzana verde, toques de fruta tropical y pedernal. En boca es moderadamente graso, con buena tensión, fluidez y frescura punzante antes del gratificante final. Tiempo de guarda 8 años.
Balcarce in Buenos Aires province is an exciting, up-and-coming, cool climate region that’s clearly well-suited to Riesling. This is light and racy, with jasmine aromas, some leesy midpalate texture and a steely, citrus and lime after-taste. 2022-26
Insólito Riesling 2020.
Notes of sliced pears and nectarines with hints of raw almond and floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied with polished texture and a sleek, mineral finish. Drink now..
Tasting notes
Delicate yellow color and green hues. A limpid and bright wine. On the nose, we find citric fruit aromas such as lime and apricot, as well as mineral sensations of graphite. Unctuous and great volume in the mouth, helping to balance the wine’s high acidity, and then we find once again its mineral profile. Long and lingering aftertaste.
