Hailing from the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Nieto Senetiner's Chardonnay showcases a brighter, more vibrant side of a region globally famed for its rich reds. Benefiting from the intense Andean sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, the grapes develop concentrated tropical fruit flavors while retaining a crisp, defining acidity. The winemaking team carefully manages fermentation at cool temperatures to preserve the grape's natural freshness, often incorporating subtle oak aging to introduce delicate notes of vanilla and toasted brioche. This results in an elegant, well-rounded white wine that captures the pure, sun-drenched spirit of Argentine viticulture.
🍾 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.
