Cuy Torrontés Natural

Winemaker Familia Zuccardi on the winery

“At Familia Zuccardi, we have been making wine in Mendoza, Argentina, since 1963. Through our Santa Julia winery, we continue this tradition with a strong focus on organic viticulture, sustainability and respect for nature. For our Cuy range, we take a natural approach, relying on indigenous yeasts and keeping cellar intervention to a minimum. Our aim is to preserve the grape’s own character and create wines that are approachable, lively and uncomplicated, while allowing the fruit to speak for itself.”

And on Mendoza, Argentina

“Our Cuy Torrontés Natural comes from Maipú in Mendoza and is made from 100% Torrontés. This Argentine grape is known for its expressive floral aromas. We allow the must to ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and use stainless-steel tanks to preserve its fresh aromatic character. The wine is neither fined nor given added sulphites. On the nose, expect rose petals, jasmine, geranium and white fruit. Despite its exuberant fragrance, the wine is dry, light-bodied and refreshing, with lively acidity and a crisp finish.”
