Los Chacayes, Uco Valley, Argentina
A vivid expression of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir, Pielihueso Naranjo 2022 is a skin-contact white that blends 50% Torrontés, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, and 25% Chardonnay. Grown at 4,265 feet in the Los Chacayes subregion of the Uco Valley, the grapes are organically farmed and co-fermented with native yeasts. The wine undergoes three months of skin contact in concrete tanks, resulting in a textured, aromatic profile.
On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of guava, orange peel, lime, and mango. The palate is medium-bodied with medium-to-high acidity, offering a mouth-watering experience. Unfiltered and unfined, it showcases the purity and character of the fruit.
This orange wine pairs beautifully with spiced vegetables, charcuterie, or Middle Eastern fare, making it a versatile choice for a variety of dishes.
