## About this wine

Melodía was founded by enologist Jorge Benites in Mendoza, Argentina, following over two decades of crafting wines for major estates. The winery's name was inspired by the gentle rustle of dry vine leaves blowing in late autumn mountain breezes after harvest, creating a delicate musical sound across the vineyards. Focused on boutique production in partnership with dedicated growers, Melodía produces expressive wines from high-elevation vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

## Interesting facts

- Named after the delicate musical sound of autumn leaves rustling through the vines after harvest.
- Awarded Double Gold at both the Park Hyatt Wine Challenge and La Mujer Elige competitions.
- Produced in small boutique allocations, entirely excluded from commercial mass supermarkets.

## Food pairing

Natural sweet white wines require high natural acidity to maintain freshness alongside residual sugar. They excel when paired with rich savory appetizers like foie gras, salty blue cheeses where salt contrasts sweetness, or fruit desserts featuring matching stone fruit flavors.

## Wine making process

Crafted from hand-harvested Torrontés grapes grown in high-altitude vineyards. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and is intentionally halted early to preserve natural residual grape sugars and vibrant floral aromatics without oak intervention.
