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.
🍾 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.
