2024 vintage
Harvest Note
In Salta, the 2024 vintage for white wines was shaped by a complex and contradictory season. Despite being a warm year influenced by El Niño and marked by the damaging Zonda wind, early budding and lower yields, the white wines — especially those harvested during the ideal March window — show remarkable freshness, precision, and energy.
Tasting Note
Pale yellow, clean and bright. Intense tropical floral and citrus aromas of lemon peel, tangerine, lychee, jasmine, and acacia. Crisp acidity on the palate with citrus and honey notes and an elegant saline finish.
