The Benjamin range by Nieto Senetiner is crafted to celebrate the vibrant, youthful spirit of Argentine viticulture, paying homage to the winery's historic roots. This Torrontes captures the highly aromatic and expressive nature of Argentina's signature white grape. Cultivated in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, where intense daytime sun and cool mountain nights preserve the grape's natural acidity, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This careful, unoaked vinification preserves the delicate, exotic aromas of white flowers, jasmine, and citrus peel, yielding a crisp, lively, and approachable wine that embodies the fresh side of Mendoza.
🍾 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.
