WINE DESCRIPTION
Santa Julia Tardío Late Harvest is a delightful dessert wine from the Mendoza region of Argentina, renowned for its innovative and high-quality winemaking. Produced by the Santa Julia winery, a name synonymous with sustainable practices and dedication to quality, this wine is crafted from late-harvested grapes, which are allowed extra time on the vine to develop higher sugar levels and richer flavors. The wine is typically made from a blend of grape varieties, often including Viognier and Torrontés, which thrive in Mendoza's climate and impart unique aromatic and flavor profiles to the wine. The late harvest technique concentrates the natural sweetness and acidity of the grapes, resulting in a wine that is lusciously sweet yet balanced. Santa Julia Tardío Late Harvest is a testament to the winery's commitment to producing expressive and distinctive wines that capture the essence of their Argentine terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the palate, it is sumptuously sweet, yet balanced by a refreshing acidity, revealing flavors of candied citrus, tropical fruits, and a subtle hint of spice.The wine's texture is rich and velvety, offering a delightful mouthfeel that is neither too heavy nor cloying. The finish is long and satisfying, with a pleasant aftertaste of sweet fruit and floral notes. This late harvest wine is an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of desserts, cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own as a luscious after-dinner treat.

ORIGINS
Winery: Santa Julia
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
