Nieto Senetiner’s Cabernet Sauvignon is a compelling expression of how this noble Bordeaux variety thrives in the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza. While Malbec often commands the spotlight in Argentina, Nieto Senetiner has spent decades championing Cabernet Sauvignon in the classic, sun-drenched vineyards of Luján de Cuyo. Grown in alluvial soils beneath the shadow of the Andes Mountains, the grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature swings, which preserve acidity while developing deep, concentrated black fruit flavors and structured tannins. The winemaking team employs traditional fermentation followed by judicious oak aging to craft a wine that beautifully balances Old World structure with the vibrant, ripe fruit character characteristic of South America's premier wine region.
🍾 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.
