✨ 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
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.
