✨ Technical Specifications
The Benjamin line by Nieto Senetiner is crafted to celebrate youthfulness, vitality, and the vibrant spirit of Mendoza's everyday wine culture. Named as a tribute to the spirit of new beginnings, this Sauvignon Blanc showcases a lighter, highly aromatic side of Mendoza—a region world-famous for its bold reds but increasingly recognized for its crisp, high-altitude whites. Grown in selected vineyards across Mendoza where cool night breezes descend from the Andes, the grapes are harvested at optimal freshness to preserve their natural, zesty acidity. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without oak contact, the wine captures the pure, unadulterated essence of the grape, offering bright citrus and herbaceous notes that reflect the clean mountain air of its origin.
🍾 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.
