2022 NARANJO, Pulenta Estate. Mendoza, Argentina

The 135 hectare estate is located in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo. Like all the best Argentine vineyards they are high (average 980m), thus getting a big diurnal temperature range, helping the wines retain freshness and balance.

Torrontes, Viognier, Chardonnay, fermented on skins.

The Pulenta family has been involved in the Argentine viticulture for three generations. Eduardo and Hugo are currently holding the reins and Nina is based in London, representing their brand internationally. She hosted a brilliant tasting for our staff, early in 2023, along with winemaker Javier Lo Forte.

An orange wine but an entirely fresh and friendly version. Pretty and aromatic, just a little texture added by the use of skins in the fermentation vat.
