Manos Negras Torrontes

Torrontés is the signature white grape from Argentina. The high altitude and northerly latitude of Cafayate in Salta provide the ideal conditions for this once minor Spanish grape to flourish as nowhere else in the world.Whole bunches are pressed in a reductive style in order to preserve the aromatic qualities of this wine. Pre-fermentative cold maceration for one day at low temperatures with fermentation in stainless steel tanks. 

The warm sunny days and cool mountain nights produce a wine that’s light yellow in colour. Explosive floral aromas on the nose with citrus fruit flavours on the palate and a crisp, clean finish. Try with poultry, grilled fish and flavoursome spicy Thai dishes.
