✨ Technical Specifications
The Benjamin Chardonnay by Nieto Senetiner is a vibrant tribute to the estate's rich history, named in honor of Benjamin Nieto, one of the pioneering figures who helped shape the winery's legacy in Mendoza. Crafted to showcase the youthful, energetic side of Argentine white winemaking, this Chardonnay is sourced from selected vineyards across Mendoza, where the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Andean foothills lock in bright acidity and fresh fruit flavors. Unlike heavily oaked styles, this wine is fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pure, expressive varietal character, offering a delightful bouquet of green apple, pear, and tropical citrus notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1888 by Italian immigrants in the premier Vistalba subregion of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Nieto Senetiner stands as one of Argentina's foundational and most storied wineries. Expanded and revitalized by the Nieto and Senetiner families beginning in 1969, the estate pairs more than a century of viticultural heritage with modern vinification techniques. Nestled in the high-altitude foothills of the Andes, the vineyards thrive in semi-arid conditions that produce concentrated, balanced fruit with remarkable depth. The winery is internationally celebrated for its rich, expressive Malbecs and its flagship Don Nicanor portfolio, showcasing complex red blends, old-vine selections, and refined varietal wines.
