Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Yellow of medium intensity and grennish reflections. Stands out for its muscat aromas. It presents aromas of white fruits such as peaches, roses petals, jasmine and geraniums. At the finish, citrus aromas of lemon peel can be appreciated. Resfreshing and bold acidity, with medium intensity and a long citrusy finsih.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Santa Julia is the largest producer of organic grapes in Argentina, and they decided to produce quality "natural" wines using technology and being very careful about details. The 2020 La Oveja Natural was produced with Torrontés Riojano from Maipú that was bottled without any added sulfites, starting of course with very healthy organic grapes. The wine is very primary and has varietal aromas reminiscent of orange blossom and Moscatel pulp. Part of the fermentation was with the skins; they also harvested at different ripeness levels, and the wine went through malolactic. It's clean and precise with focused flavors. Quite impressive.

Julia, alongside her grandmother, Emma, continue to enrich their local community by providing childcare and schooling for their employees’ children, adult education programs, access to computer labs, and health and fitness centers to sustain physical and mental health.

Unapologetically fun and distinctively fragrant, Torrontés is regarded as the signature white grape of Argentina. In many ways it bears a striking resemblance to Muscat (and in fact is an offspring of Muscat of Alexandria). Sommelier Secret—If you’re in search of a new summer sipper, look no further than Torrontés. These wines are always inexpensive, delightfully refreshing and are best enjoyed in the sunny outdoors at a picnic, poolside or on the porch.

Mendoza Wine

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
