Tasting Note
Golden, intensely aromatic—honeysuckle, rose, baked pear, apricot and candied orange peel. Lush and silky on the palate with honeyed fruit, balanced acidity and a long, sweet finish.

Food Pairing
Western: crème brûlée, blue cheese, fruit tart, crème caramel, pancakes with dulce de leche. Asian: mango sticky rice, Chinese egg tarts, sesame balls, green‑tea cheesecake, mildly spiced Thai desserts.

Production Method
Late‑harvest grapes, handpicked; partial skin contact, fermentation arrested by cooling to retain residual sugar; matured briefly in large neutral oak or stainless/concrete before bottling (half‑bottles common).

Vineyard Info
Produced by Familia Zuccardi (Santa Julia range), a multi‑generation Mendoza producer. Santa Julia is Zuccardi’s approachable line, focusing on accessible, regionally expressive wines using conventional viticulture and local sites.
