Winemaker: This small winery is located where the River Plate, the widest river in the world, meets the Atlantic Ocean. This region provides clean cool ocean breezes and an ideal climate for the maturation of wine grapes. With just 12 hectares under vine, they practice sustainable agriculture with no insecticides and only a very low grade fungicide to control downy mildew.

The winemaker, Pablo Fallabrino, a laid back good natured surfer, is the perfect catalyst to create a world class winery. His approach is not to over think the winemaking process; instead, he runs with his instincts, takes chances and makes extraordinary wines with his own personal signature.

Tasting Notes: Co-fermentation of the Piedmontese grape Arneis with 40% Chardonnay that has some tannic structure and a palate of tangerine, pear, blanched almonds and waxed lemon.

Winemaking: Co-fermented for 20 days at 14 Celsius, unfiltered, and aged in 100% Stainless Steel.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with seafood, salads and light pasta dishes.
