WINE DESCRIPTION
Whites from the Huasco Valley boast a distinctive character, influenced by the unique terroir at the edge of the Atacama Desert, the world's driest, and its proximity to the sea, just 14 kilometers away. Located on the Huasco River bed, the vineyards produce intensely flavored wines. This Chardonnay, a blend of two vineyards with alluvial and saline soils, underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in a 2,000-liter foudre and two 1,000-liter concrete eggs. The result is an eccentric yet highly drinkable wine. Unlike many "natural" wines that prioritize eccentricity, it offers clarity, enticing aromas, and ripe white fruit flavors in a juicy, enjoyable package.

ORIGINS
Winery: Hand of God
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
