A wine like this augurs well for continued planting of Sauvignon Blanc in Mendoza – home to both Argentina’s favorite red (Malbec) and white (Torrontes) varietals. With an aromatic intensity associated with cooler climate and a ripeness one expects from warmer climes, this Sauvignon Blanc incorporates the best of both worlds. High elevation vineyards and 10% new oak contribute to this wine’s balance and complexity. Rich and vivacious, Mapema would match well with vegetarian dishes, herb roasted chicken, or broiled swordfish.
