✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Luigi Bosca's Riesling is a testament to the Arizu family's pioneering spirit and willingness to experiment with grape varieties outside Argentina's traditional repertoire. Sourced from the historic, high-altitude vineyards of Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, situated at approximately 1,150 meters above sea level, this wine challenges the notion that Riesling only thrives in Northern Europe. The intense solar radiation of Mendoza is balanced by the cooling alpine breezes from the Andes and significant diurnal temperature shifts, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving their signature crisp acidity. The vines are planted in sandy-loam soils with surface stones, contributing a distinct mineral undertone. Vinified entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit, this dry Riesling showcases expressive aromas of white flowers, lime zest, and green apple, underpinned by a subtle, evolving petrol minerality that pays homage to its classic Old World counterparts.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodega Luigi Bosca blev grundlagt i 1901 af Don Leoncio Arizu og står i dag som et referencepunkt for argentinsk vinkunst i Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Drevet af mere end et århundredes familietradition og pionerånd spillede vinhuset en afgørende rolle i etableringen af Argentinas første kontrollerede oprindelsesbetegnelse (DOC Luján de Cuyo) i 1989. Vingården dyrker sine højtbeliggende parceller i Mendozas bedste terroirs med stor omhu, hvor der lægges vægt på bæredygtige metoder og præcis mikrovinficering. Luigi Bosca nyder international anerkendelse for sine elegante, strukturerede Malbec-vine, exceptionelle Cabernet Sauvignon-aftapninger og fornemme enkeltmarksvine, herunder den ikoniske Finca Los Nobles-serie.
