2007 Winemaker's Selection Torrontes

About Andeluna
The Andeluna name and label were chosen by our founder to symbolize the romance and mystery of the Argentine moon that illuminates the Uco Valley at the foot of the majestic Andes Mountains. Andeluna Cellars’ wines combine fruit grown in world-class vineyards at high elevations with the very best of Argentine winemaking tradition. Located in Mendoza, the premiere wine region of Argentina near the town of Tupungato, the Andeluna Cellars winery was built at an elevation of 4,200 feet. Surrounded by 170 acres of mature vineyards that produce Bordeaux varietals of the finest quality, the 48,000 square foot winery has a one million liter tank capacity, a 1,200 barrel aging capacity and a 720,000 bottle storage capacity. Our passion for making the finest wines in Argentina is proudly reflected in every bottle of Andeluna wine.

Vineyards
Andeluna Cellars’ Winemaker’s Selection Torrontés is made from premium grapes grown in select vineyards at high elevations of the Andes. During the growing cycle, we performed a tightly controlled concentrated polyphenolic maturation process and daily testing. This attention to detail, including careful control of the irrigation and the vine canopy, produced grapes clustered in small bunches that yielded less than 10,000 kilos per hectare. The grapes were harvested manually during the early morning and placed in bins for careful selection in the winery.

Winemaking
After selecting the very best bunches, the grapes underwent a destemming and milling process and the must’s temperature was decreased to 45° F. The wine was fermented and aged for five months entirely without oak in stainless steel tanks. This wine was hand crafted by our winemaker, Silvio Alberto, in collaboration with Michel Rolland.

Tasting Notes
This Torrontés has a medium body and very good structure with a great balance of acidity. Delightful aromas of peach, apricot, grapefruit and jasmine combine with flavors of pineapple, green apple, mango, honey and white flowers for a refreshing wine. It’s outstanding by itself or as an accompaniment to many foods.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy our Torrontés as an aperitif or as the perfect companion to light pastas, fish, chicken and seafood, especially shellfish dishes like lobster and crab.
