Torrontés

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.

Torrontés is indigenous to Argentina and has a unique profile that has quickly made it the country's signature white grape. TILIA Torrontés has notes of passionfruit, citrus, tropical fruits, and freshly cut grass.

Wine Production

Crafted with 100% Torrontés grapes, the juice is fermented for three months in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow color with greenish hues. Intense nose of passion fruit, citrus and freshly cut grass. Fresh, concentrated vegetal and tropical flavors on the palate. Long and persistent finish.

Food Pairing

The fragrant qualities of Tilia Torrontés have a particular affinity for dishes featuring aromatic ingredients like lemongrass, cilantro, ginger, and star anise. This wine would be a fantastic companion to any dish served with herb seafood sauce or just a simply prepared dish of fish in cilantro sauce.
