✨ Technical Specifications
Named in tribute to Doña Emilia, a beloved figure in the winery's history celebrated for her warmth and hospitality, the Emilia range captures a youthful, vibrant side of Mendoza's winemaking. This Dulce Natural is crafted from Moscatel de Alejandría, an ancient grape variety that thrives in the sun-drenched, high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. To achieve its delicate sweetness, the fermentation process is stopped early using precise temperature control, preserving the grape's natural residual sugars and intense primary aromas. The result is a highly expressive, aromatic white wine that beautifully balances luscious sweetness with a refreshing, crisp acidity, reflecting the bright sunshine and cool mountain nights of its Andean terroir.
🍾 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.
