Out of the ten wines that we preselected during our trip to Mendoza and Cafayate, two emerged as standouts during our blind tasting week. Interestingly, neither of them are Malbecs — despite a few making the initial cut. We also sampled some delicious Torrontés wines, but they were ultimately outshined by some French classics, perhaps reflecting a collective old world bias? Next time, we'll invite our new Argentinian friends to join us for the blind tasting!

Domaine Dal Canto
Blanc Canon 2023
IGP Alpilles
This 100% Vermentino is grown at 100 meters above sea level on clay-limestone soils rich in silt and pebbles, ensuring consistent water supply year-round. It is cultivated organically, without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and with grass between the rows. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, yielding 40 hl/ha. The wine undergoes direct pressing and 12 hours of maceration, fermenting naturally without additives. It is aged for six months in a stainless steel tank on fine lees and is bottled without filtration. The resulting wine is pale straw yellow, with fresh floral and cut hay aromas, offering a sharp, lively, and well-balanced taste. Pairs well with fish, grilled cuttlefish with herbs, white meats or simply on its own for l’apéritif.
