Meet the producer

Pulenta Estate is a family-owned winery in Mendoza, known for producing high-quality, terroir-driven wines that reflect the unique climate and soils of the region. Their philosophy emphasizes balance, elegance, and precision, producing wines that are approachable yet complex, and that express the personality of the vineyard.

Production

Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure freshness and aromatic intensity. The must undergoes careful fermentation, partly in stainless steel to preserve crisp fruit flavours and partly in French oak barrels to add complexity, texture, and subtle oak nuances. A portion of the wine may also undergo malolactic fermentation to enhance creaminess and roundness. The wine is then aged for several months in French oak barrels to achieve a harmonious integration of flavours.

Tasting notes

Bright straw-yellow in colour, the nose reveals aromas of white peach, citrus, and hints of tropical fruit with delicate notes of vanilla and toasted nuts from oak maturation. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh, and vibrant, with balanced acidity, smooth texture, and a long, elegant finish.

Food match

Pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, roasted chicken, creamy risottos, or soft cheeses.
