✨ Technical Specifications
La Linda Chardonnay, crafted by the historic Bodega Luigi Bosca, is a vibrant tribute to the scenic beauty of Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards. The 'La Linda' range was created to capture the pure, youthful essence of the fruit grown at the foothills of the Andes. Sourced from select vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, this wine is designed to showcase the bright, unadorned character of the grape. To preserve its intense aromatic profile of green apple, pear, and tropical fruit, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with no oak contact. A brief period of aging on its fine lees provides a delicate creaminess on the palate, beautifully balancing the crisp mountain acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca stands as a cornerstone of modern Argentine viticulture. Steered across four generations by the Arizu family alongside head winemaker Pablo Cúneo, the estate was instrumental in defining Argentina's fine-wine identity and establishing the landmark Luján de Cuyo DOC in 1989. While universally celebrated for red expressions, the bodega boasts a venerable reputation for white and sparkling vinification, drawing fruit from prized high-altitude holdings across Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Sited on alluvial, gravel-strewn Andean soils, these vineyards benefit from sharp diurnal shifts that preserve vital natural acidity. The cellar balances technical precision with restrained French oak aging to deliver whites and traditional-method sparklers marked by aromatic clarity and energetic structure. Signature whites—including the De Sangre White Blend, Finca Los Nobles Chardonnay, and crisp iterations of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer—epitomize the estate’s hallmark poise, mineral drive, and enduring Andean freshness.
