Description

A fresh and complex white wine from Patagonia

The estate

The son of the famous Argentinian oenologist Jorge Riccitelli, Matias Riccitelli founded the eponymous estate in 2009. Located in the province of Mendoza, this estate reigns over a 20-hectare vineyard that spreads over three unique terroirs in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.

Matias Riccitelli passionately produces Argentinian wines whose refinement and aromatic richness beam beyond the country’s borders.

The vineyard

Matias Riccitelli's Old Vines from Patagonia Chenin Blanc 2020 is a Patagonian wine made from vineyards located in the province of Rio Negro. The vines are over sixty years old on average and are planted at an altitude of between 435 and 500 metres above sea level on soil composed mainly of alluvium and silt.

The blend

Chenin Blanc (100%).
