2010 January Wine Club Vintner Selection

For the past few years, we’ve been looking for a Fair Trade project that we could really get behind: one that not only provided good wine for the nt proceeds back to the community where the wine was made. This project fit the bill on both counts.

If you haven’t yet tried the intensely aromatic Torrontes grape, you’re in for a treat. Crisp yet slightly creamy, the wine combines the zestiness of Sauvignon Blanc with the floral headiness of Viognier. And because the company distributing this wine gives back twice the profits required by Fair Trade standards to build playgrounds and educational and medical facilities for the Mendoza vineyard-workers’ families, you can feel twice as good about enjoying a glass of this special Argentine wine. (If you’re interested in learning more, visit www.doubleupfairtrade.com)

Los Cowboys Torrontes is Fair Trade Certified™ from grapes sourced from high density vineyard with low yields helping to increase the intensity of the fruit. Vines are planted in loam and are hand harvested for optimum ripeness. Cold fermented in stainless steel to maintain the bright lively flavors of the Torrontes. Bentonite fining and finishing is utilized making for a vegan friendly wine. This Torrontes is refreshing with an aromatic nose of tropical fruits, honey, melon and a delightful finish.
