The Benjamin range by Nieto Senetiner represents the winery's approachable, fruit-forward style, designed to celebrate everyday moments. The Colección Tardía Dulce Blanco is a late-harvest sweet white wine crafted from grapes left on the vine to dehydrate slightly under the intense Mendoza sun. This natural dehydration concentrates the sugars and aromatic compounds within the berries. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, the grapes benefit from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, which preserve a vital vein of acidity that balances the wine's luscious sweetness. The winemaking process is carefully controlled to halt fermentation early, retaining natural residual sugar and showcasing vibrant floral and tropical fruit notes.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1888 by Italian immigrants in the premier wine-growing region of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Nieto Senetiner is one of Argentina's most historic and prestigious wineries. The estate was acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969, who expanded its facilities while preserving its architectural heritage, and it is now part of the Perez Companc Group. Renowned for its deep respect for terroir, the winery crafts exceptional wines from historic vineyards, including the centenarian vines of Finca Villa Blanca planted in 1906. Under the guidance of winemaker Santiago Mayorga, Nieto Senetiner produces elegant, structured wines, most notably their acclaimed Don Nicanor Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and innovative blends that showcase the classic character of Mendoza.
