Nieto Senetiner's Syrah showcases how this classic Rhône variety thrives under the intense high-altitude sun of Mendoza. Sourced from selected vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, the grapes benefit from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, which preserve acidity while allowing the fruit to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness. The winemaking team employs traditional fermentation followed by careful oak aging to craft a wine that balances the grape's signature wild, spicy character with the plush, fruit-forward style characteristic of Argentine reds. This expression pays homage to the winery's late 19th-century roots, blending European heritage with the bold, expressive terroir of the Andes.
🍾 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.
