The combination of high elevation (4800-5600 feet), very dry weather, intense solar radiation, cool nights, and sandy soils brings out its best characteristics. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, and seafood (especially crab!). Keep one in the fridge at all times!</strong></div></i></span>

---90 pt RATING---Argentina's benchmark white varital. Aromas of peach, white pear, flowers, and orange. Full-bodied, with an acidity that will keep you sipping frequently. Fruity, floral, but still quite dry. Must try it to believe it!
