✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's Gewürztraminer is a rare and captivating gem within Argentina's viticultural landscape, showcasing the adaptability of this classic Alsatian variety to the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza. Sourced primarily from the historic Finca El Paraíso in Maipú—originally planted in the early 1970s—the vines benefit from sandy-loam soils and a dramatic diurnal temperature variation. This microclimate allows the grapes to develop their signature intense aromatics while preserving essential acidity. The winemaking process is carefully managed with temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks and no malolactic fermentation, ensuring the wine retains its vibrant, expressive, and exotic character defined by notes of lychee, rose petals, and subtle spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is a benchmark of Argentine viticultural excellence located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Guided by over a century of family heritage and pioneering spirit, the estate played a pivotal role in the creation of Argentina's first Controlled Denomination of Origin (DOC Luján de Cuyo) in 1989. The winery meticulously cultivates premier high-altitude vineyards across Mendoza's prime terroirs, focusing on sustainable practices and precise micro-terroir vinification. Luigi Bosca is globally celebrated for its elegant, structured Malbecs, exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons, and distinguished single-vineyard bottlings such as the iconic Finca Los Nobles series.
