✨ Technical Specifications
Nieto Senetiner's Semillon is a tribute to the rich, often overlooked history of this classic Bordeaux variety in Mendoza. During the early and mid-20th century, Semillon was one of Argentina's most widely planted white grapes, cherished for its adaptability and remarkable aging potential. Sourced from select old-vine parcels in Mendoza, this wine revives that traditional heritage. Crafted to preserve the grape's natural character, it typically undergoes fermentation in stainless steel with a portion aged in oak to enhance its texture. The result is a beautifully structured white wine that balances vibrant citrus and green apple aromas with the classic waxy, honeyed complexity and elegant minerality characteristic of historic Mendoza Semillon.
