✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Benjamin range from Nieto Senetiner is named in honor of Benjamin Nieto, one of the foundational figures of this historic Mendoza estate. Designed to showcase a vibrant, youthful, and highly approachable side of Argentine winemaking, this unique blend brings together three distinct red varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon provides a firm backbone of structure and subtle spice, Merlot contributes a soft, velvety texture and plum-forward fruitiness, while Bonarda—Argentina's beloved heritage grape—infuses the blend with bright acidity and juicy red berry notes. Sourced from selected vineyards across Mendoza's high-altitude plains, the grapes benefit from intense sunlight and cool night breezes, preserving their natural freshness. The winemaking emphasizes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel with minimal oak contact, resulting in an easy-drinking, fruit-centric red that captures the everyday spirit of Mendoza's wine culture.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Nieto Senetiner blev grundlagt i 1888 af italienske immigranter i den velansete Vistalba-underregion i Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, og regnes i dag for et af Argentinas mest historiske og toneangivende vinhuse. Da familierne Nieto og Senetiner overtog og revitaliserede ejendommen i 1969, forenede de mere end et århundredes vindyrkningstradition med moderne vinificeringsmetoder. Vinmarkerne er beliggende højt oppe ved Andesbjergenes udløbere, hvor det tørre klima skaber optimale betingelser for koncentrerede, harmoniske druer med en imponerende dybde. Vinhuset har vundet international anerkendelse for sine fyldige, udtryksfulde Malbec-vine og flagskibsserien Don Nicanor, som omfatter komplekse rødvinsblends, cuvéer fra gamle vinstokke og raffinerede enkeltdruevine.
