✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Nieto Senetiner estate in Mendoza, the Reserva Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon represents a harmonious marriage of two robust French varieties that thrive under the intense Argentine sun. Born in the high-altitude vineyards of Luján de Cuyo, where the vines are nourished by pure Andean snowmelt and planted in alluvial soils, this blend showcases the distinct synergy of its components. The Syrah contributes lush blackberry fruit, wild violet aromas, and a signature cracked black pepper spiciness, while the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a firm backbone of structured tannins, cassis, and elegant herbal undertones. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine honors the estate's centuries-old winemaking legacy—dating back to its founding by Italian immigrants in 1888—by delivering a classic, full-bodied Mendoza red that beautifully balances rustic power with polished elegance.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1888 by Italian immigrants in Vistalba, Bodega Nieto Senetiner stands as one of the historic pillars of Luján de Cuyo viticulture. Acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969 and integrated into Molinos Río de la Plata in 1998, the estate commands prime holdings across Vistalba and Agrelo, including Finca Villa Blanca and Finca Las Tortugas. Situated between 950 and 1,150 meters above sea level against the Andean backdrop, the vineyards thrive on alluvial clay-loam and gravelly soils subjected to wide diurnal temperature shifts and intense high-altitude sunlight. Winemaker Santiago Mayorga crafts both classic reds and pristine, aromatic whites and rosés with modern precision. While globally acclaimed for benchmark Malbec and heritage Bonarda, the estate demonstrates deft mastery of aromatic and refreshing profiles through everyday and fruit-forward ranges such as Benjamín, Fran, and Emilia, preserving pure varietal expression, vibrant natural acidity, and refined balance across Torrontés, Moscatel de Alejandría, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
