DESCRIPTION
The Los Abandonados Semillon 2022 is a project by Paso a Paso Wines that pays homage to the old Sémillon vines of La Consulta, San Carlos (Uco Valley). Grown in sandy-loam soil at an altitude of 1100 meters, these vines benefit from a cool desert climate and low yields, ensuring optimal concentration.
The winemaking process is artisanal and patient: manual harvesting of whole clusters without crushing, natural fermentation in plastic tanks with 60 days of skin contact, followed by malolactic fermentation and 8 months of aging in barrels. Two of the barrels benefit from crianza biológica (aging under a veil of yeast), which adds extra texture and complexity.
Production is limited to 1500 bottles. This intense and complex white wine offers a waxy texture, perfectly balanced acidity, and aromas of ripe fruit, honey, sweet spices, roasted apple, and dried citrus.
It is ideal with mushroom risotto, fatty fish (cod, turbot), poultry in a creamy sauce, or aged cheeses.
REGION
Mendoza
Argentina
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina. Located on a high plateau on the edge of the Andes, the province is responsible for approximately 70% of the country's annual wine production. The French grape variety Malbec has its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. While Malbec is undoubtedly the star of the region, there are also numerous plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Torrontes and Sauvignon Blanc.
Recommended for you:
The texture is waxy and coating, balanced by precise acidity that leads to a long and elegant finish. It is a wine that combines freshness and depth, both contemplative and alive with a quiet energy.
