Dos Minas Torrontes

Dos Minas (“two chicks”) in Argentine slang, are two highly regarded females in the wine industry. Both are aligned in the belief that Torrontés is a wonderfully aromatic, food-friendly wine that is among the best of what Argentina has to offer to the world.

Torrontes grows especially well in Cafayate, near Salta, due to sandy soils and a longer, cooler summer than in Mendoza. The vineyards in Cafayate are about 1,750m above sea level and the vines are 45-years old in an area called “El Retiro”. The vines are trained in the Pergola method, which is the traditional way for all Torrontes vines to be trained.
