Mendoza, sited on a high-altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, is responsible for around 70% of Argentina’s wine production. Vines were first planted here by Jesuits in the mid-16th century, using techniques learned from the indigenous Huarpe people.
Bodega Los Haroldos, owned by the Falasco family, is one of Argentina’s leading family-owned wineries. Today the fourth generation continues the story that began in 1939 when Haroldo Santos Falasco, known as ‘Don Lolo’, began to wheel his bicycle through the streets of his small hometown of Chacabuco, 200km west of Buenos Aires, selling his wines from the basket on the front.
Los Haroldos Chacabuco Torrontes wine has lovely notes of peach, apricot and honeysuckle on the nose leading to a dry, well-balanced and rounded palate of passion fruit, honeyed lemon and orchard fruits. This unoaked wine is perfect with oven baked salmon or tagine with lemon and herbs. Also a great accompaniment to Asian foods, particularly Thai.
