Tilia Torrontés

Tilia Torrontés

Wine Description

TILIA seeks to create action around sustainable farming in Argentina and around the world. Rural life in Mendoza is rooted in a deep connection with the surrounding natural environment and the stages of life in the vineyard, interrupted without fail by the family weekend gathering for asado, our name for barbecue.

TILIA illustrates the journey toward sustainable viticulture in Argentina through its label, with the hope to inspire a movement among wine drinkers and producers all over the world. TILIA is also the first Argentine wine to carry the Bodegas de Argentina Certified Sustainable Seal on its label.
TILIA wines possess true varietal character and flavor complexity.

Acclaim
“Say ‘Argentina’ and ‘wine,’ and most people immediately think only of Malbec. And while Malbec might be the most well-known varietal of this South American country, there are plenty of other wonderful wines to be had. Torrontés is an indigenous grape to Argentina, and Tilia, the first Argentine winemaker to carry the Bodegas de Argentina certified sustainable seal on its label, makes a sublime version.”
— Forbes, Dec 2021
This TILIA Torrontés is fermented for 10 days with maceration of 15 days in stainless steel tanks before spending six months in French Oak. It is pale yellow in color with light greenish hues. On the nose it exhibits aromas of passion fruit, citrus and freshly cut grass. On the palate, this wine is bright and fresh with concentrated vegetal and tropical flavors. It has a long and persistent finish.”
