2022 Uco Deus Sauvignon Blanc — Uco Valley, Argentina
The Moment
This is the bottle you open when you want something alive in the glass — vibrant citrus, lifted aromatics, and that unmistakable mountain-grown freshness.
It’s the kind of wine that wakes up the palate and immediately signals:
you chose well.
Perfect for sunny afternoons, seafood boards, and easy gatherings where the bottle disappears faster than expected.
Tasting Notes
Aromatics
Lime zest, white peach, and fresh grapefruit rise first, followed by passion fruit, pineapple, and a whisper of green herbs.
Palate
Bright and energetic with flavors of ripe citrus, green apple, and subtle sage. A gentle saline note carries through the mid-palate, giving the wine both weight and precision.
Texture & Finish
Crisp acidity keeps everything focused while fermentation in concrete eggs adds a beautiful mineral tension. The finish is clean, refreshing, and quietly persistent.
Why We Love This Bottle
High-elevation fruit. Organic farming. Minimal intervention.
This is Sauvignon Blanc that balances vibrancy with texture — expressive without being loud, refreshing without feeling simple.
It drinks beautifully on its own but truly shines at the table.
In other words:
a modern white that overdelivers.

Winemaking
Organically farmed grapes from the high elevations of Los Chacayes in the Uco Valley are hand-harvested and crafted with a low-intervention philosophy.
Fermentation and aging take place in concrete eggs — a technique that preserves purity while enhancing texture and minerality.
The result is a wine that feels both natural and precise.
