Co-fermenting 55% Semillon and 45% Chenin Blanc, the 2025 White Clay Appellation Lujan de Cuyo is from clay soils that cool the vines, helping to retain notable freshness. The Chenin is a historic nod to a white once vital to Argentina that was typically planted with Semillon, adding complexity and texture. Aged on the lees in French oak barrels, it’s a medium-bodied, serious, gastronomic wine ready for the table.
