✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Nieto Senetiner winery, the Benjamin Colección Tardía Dulce Rosado represents a playful and sweet expression of Mendoza's viticultural bounty. Named in tribute to the pioneering spirit of the Nieto family, the Benjamin range focuses on fresh, fruit-forward wines designed for immediate enjoyment. This late-harvest ('Tardía') rosé is crafted from red grapes left on the vine to bask in the intense, high-altitude Argentine sun, allowing the sugars to naturally concentrate. The resulting wine captures a delicate balance of natural sweetness and refreshing acidity, reflecting the pure meltwater irrigation of the Andes and the winery's century-long expertise in tailoring wines to the rhythms of the Luján de Cuyo terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1888 by Italian immigrants in Vistalba, Bodega Nieto Senetiner stands as one of the historic pillars of Luján de Cuyo viticulture. Acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969 and integrated into Molinos Río de la Plata in 1998, the estate commands prime holdings across Vistalba and Agrelo, including Finca Villa Blanca and Finca Las Tortugas. Situated between 950 and 1,150 meters above sea level against the Andean backdrop, the vineyards thrive on alluvial clay-loam and gravelly soils subjected to wide diurnal temperature shifts and intense high-altitude sunlight. Winemaker Santiago Mayorga crafts both classic reds and pristine, aromatic whites and rosés with modern precision. While globally acclaimed for benchmark Malbec and heritage Bonarda, the estate demonstrates deft mastery of aromatic and refreshing profiles through everyday and fruit-forward ranges such as Benjamín, Fran, and Emilia, preserving pure varietal expression, vibrant natural acidity, and refined balance across Torrontés, Moscatel de Alejandría, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
