2022 ‘The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree’ Torrontes, Matias Riccitelli

Mendoza, ArgentinaVintage: 2022

Torrontes is Argentina’s signature white grape and this 2022 Torrontes is made from 40-year-old vines in the Uco Valley and is a classic example of the variety.  Made by superstar winemaker Matias Riccitelli, it has a fresh nose with inviting aromas of roses and citrus. On the palate, it’s complex, refreshing with a deliciously creamy texture.

The grapes are grown in Tupungato, a renowned high-altitude wine district in the north of the Uco Valley. The climate offers excellent conditions for premium viticulture. The vines are planted at 1,000 meters above sea level and benefit from large diurnal temperature variations which result in a longer growing season. The heat assists in the promotion of sugar levels in the ripening grapes, while the coolness of the night retains acidity levels, achieving healthy and balanced berries.

Description

Matias Riccitelli is the son of renowned winemaker Jorge Riccitelli. Having worked at some of the most prestigious wineries in Argentina and several vintages around the world, Matias used his experience, knowledge and passion and set up his own winery in 2009. His vineyards cover 50 hectares located in three selected sites within the premium growing region of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. This is a young and dynamic project in which Matias is seeking to express the full potential of Argentine terroir.

The grapes were manually picked at optimum maturity levels and then meticulously sorted by hand in order to only vinify the best grapes. A percentage of the clusters were destemmed and a proportion was left as whole clusters. Fermentation took place with natural yeasts in open, square vats without any additions at controlled temperatures of between 26 to 28°C and lasted several weeks. 100% of the wine was matured in seasoned French oak barrels for 12 months, until the following harvest.
