Santa Julia La Oveja Torrontes 2025

Bodega Santa Julia is the Zuccardi family’s winery in Mendoza, founded in 1990 and named after Julia Zuccardi. La Oveja comes from Maipú, one of Mendoza’s historic wine growing areas, where Santa Julia farms organically certified vineyards. The dry, sunny climate, irrigation from Andean meltwater and marked difference between warm days and cool nights help preserve freshness in the grapes. The wine reflects Santa Julia’s commitment to organic farming, environmental care and minimal intervention.

Santa Julia La Oveja Torrontés 2025 is made from 100% Torrontés grown in Maipú. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, followed by 15 days of maceration. No sulphites are added and the wine is bottled without filtration, with no oak ageing. Highly aromatic and dry, it shows white peach, lychee, rose petals, jasmine and geranium, with a delicate citrus note of lemon peel. Fresh, lively acidity and a long, citrus led finish make it particularly well suited to spicy Asian cuisine, Thai dishes, ceviche, grilled prawns, fresh salads and light appetisers.
