Gaucho
Wine - Whites
Thought to originate from Galicia in Spain, this unique grape variety achieves it's true potential in the Northern province of Salta, home to the highest vineyards in the world. The locals in Cafayate, the center of wine production in this province, are so proud of this grape that they make ice cream from it. And it is delicious. You may find some tartrates in these wines (a little cloudy) as some are Bio - Dynamic and are not subject to cold stabilisation. This is a sign of quality - after all, wine is a natural product.

Chardonnay likes a cool climate, and so is well suited to the higher regions of Mendoza. The beauty of the fruit, particularly from Tupungato in the Uco Valley, is preserved by the wonderful acidity and mineral rich soils. The use of oak in these wines is very restrained, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine through.

If you had asked us if Argentina was capable of producing great Sauvignon Blanc 5 years ago we would have said no. Such is the speed of change in Argentina that we have been proved completely wrong. Here the cool temperatures found at altitude provide the means to preserve that all - important acidity in the grape.
