Andeluna 1300 Sauvignon Blanc

When you think of Argentina, you might not immediately think of Sauvignon Blanc, but in the Uco Valley, at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level, there's plenty of coolness for this grape. There are significant temperature variations, which makes the grape's aromas very intense. This wine does a wonderful job!

The vineyards of Andeluna

Vineyards that touch the sky. In 2003, Argentinian businessman H. Ward Lay laid the foundation stone for Andeluna. His family already played a significant role in the Argentinian beverage industry; his father was, after all, the founder and CEO of Pepsico. H. Ward Lay's vision is to reach the pinnacle of Argentinian wineries with his collection of premium wines. Andeluna Cellars is located at an altitude of 1,300 meters in the Tupungato Valley, Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes. This state-of-the-art winery is surrounded by 70 hectares of its own vineyards. Winemaker Silvio Alberto is advised by none other than Michel Rolland, the icon of French winemaking. The wines are classified into three quality categories based on strict selection criteria. There is the basic Andeluna range, then the reserve qualities, and in the premium area, the Grand Reserve line. The vineyards are equipped with a drip irrigation system, ensuring the plants receive the precise amount of water they need. The grapes are harvested and selected by hand. The wine ferments using selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius.
