2024 Dos Minas Cafayate Torrontés
Try this: If you like other aromatic whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Gewürztraminer, or Viognier
This vibrant white hails from the high-altitude desert of Cafayate in northwest Argentina. Crafted from 65-year-old pergola-trained vines at over 6,000 feet elevation, this Torrontés offers its signature perfumed floral nose. It’s elegant and aromatic without veering into soapy territory—paired with a fruit-forward yet dry palate. Exceptionally food-friendly, it shines alongside Asian-inspired dishes like sashimi with jalapeño zest, coconut curries, or anything with a touch of Thai spice.
Sustainable farming practices, hand-harvested, cold fermentation is stainless steel tanks and only 1,000 cases produced.

The dos minas (“two chicks” in Argentine slang) of the name are Lucía Romero, who runs Bodega El Porvenir de los Andes in Cafayate, Argentina, and Heather Willens, who came to Buenos Aires via California and has experience working with small wineries in Argentina. Both are champions of wines from the mystical desert landscapes of Cafayate, and both believe that Torrontés is a wonderfully aromatic, food-friendly wine that is among the best of what Argentina has to offer to the world. So they decided to come together to create this small project to showcase the rugged, high-altitude Malbec and the elegant, balanced Torrontés that the best producers in Cafayate are capable of making.
Only 1,000 cases are made of the Torrontés, and only 1,500 cases of the Malbec. The vines for the Malbec are an average of 15 years old, and the Torrontés has grapes from 65-year old vines trained in the pergola system.

$35.00Alberto Nanclares and Silvia Prieto make transparent, Atlantic-influenced wines, mainly with Albariño from old vines around the village of Cambados (where the winery is located). Employing organic farming practices and a restrained hand in the cellar, the pair have managed something very rare: the refinement of Albariño into angular, age-worthy wines that express the fascinating terruños of Cambados and Rías Baixas.
