Gaucho

Although Argentina is not well known for its sweet wines, it is an area of their industry that is overlooked. The low humidity in the wine regions makes the growth of botrytis on the grapes virtually impossible, but the extraordinary length of time that the grapes can hang on the vine allows for the production of late harvest wines which have remarkable intensity of flavour and balance. The Torrontes Licoroso hails from a monastery high in the mountains of Catamarca, and is made in a similar way to Sherry, benefiting from a slight oxidisation, giving colour and nutty flavours to this unique grape variety. It is also very good when a little is poured over our Don Pedro.
