WINE DESCRIPTION
Callia Alta Torrontés is a white wine produced by Bodegas Callia, a renowned winery located in the Tulum Valley of Argentina. The wine is made from the Torrontés grape variety, which is grown in the high-altitude vineyards of the region. The unique terroir of the Tulum Valley, with its sandy soils and warm days and cool nights, gives the wine its distinctive character. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation at low temperatures to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the grape. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and tropical fruits. It is a perfect match for spicy dishes, seafood, and salads.
