Description
Abel Mendoza Torrontés wine is made from grapes grown in its own 17-hectare vineyard in the Rioja town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The vines come from cuttings planted by Abel Mendoza so that this variety does not become extinct in La Rioja.
The growing soils are mountainous and varied in nature, alternating clay soils, loams and fine sandstones. With Cantabrian influence and a moderate continental climate, this is why the wine is so exquisite!
Winemaking
The grapes for this single varietal were hand harvested from vineyards co-planted with red varietals. Abel Mendoza Torrontés was fermented with wild yeasts and matured in new French oak barrels for 5 months, accompanied by fine lees that were handled to gain mouthfeel.
Taste
Abel Mendoza Torrontés is a creamy, generous and fresh wine. The varietal aromas dominate over the toasted notes of the aging. The palate is sweet and glyceric. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity available to only a few.
Subtle but expressive
It is a more expressive and complete wine than the Abel Mendoza Malvasía, as well as more youthful than the Abel Mendoza Tempranillo Blanco. It is the lowest alcohol white wine in the San Vicente de la Sonsierra winery's white portfolio. It has a lot of volume and fat, but also a lot of freshness.
It is not particularly aromatic, but it is long and expansive, with strong aging potential. Of course, it plays the subtlety card rather than the exuberance card.
And you, have you not yet tasted the exceptional Abel Mendoza Torrontés wine?
