The Story
Making great wines requires courage, determination, and passion. With over forty years of experience since Susana Balbo's start as the first female winemaker in Argentina, she is proud to offer the best of myself through my signature wines. Made from gently pressed, very ripe, raisin-like grapes, this sweet Torrontés is produced with grapes sourced from Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, at 1,150 m.a.s.l. (3,770 ft.).
