Key Features: Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Origin: Gualtallary, Tupungato, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina Aromas: Delicate grapefruit, lemon peel, peas, white peach blossom, and fresh herbs Harvest: Hand harvested early in the morning (between 6:30 am and 10:00 am) to keep grapes fresh and cold Fermentation: 20 days in oak barrels (50% used, 50% new) at low temperatures (13 ∘C) Malolactic: No malolactic fermentation to keep freshness Aging: 8 months of aging and 6 months in the bottle Full Description: Named for Domaine Bousquet co-owner Labid al Ameri, this wine is made only in exceptional years from a specific cluster within the estate's highest vineyard. At 1,257m/4,125 ft in Gualtallary, the certified-organic vineyard receives intense daytime sunlight and huge day/night temperature differentials. This results in fruit with increased levels of sugar and acid, flavor, and aromatics. The grapes are hand harvested early in the morning, and only the heart of parcel N9—which features a sandy stony soil over calcareous material —is used for this wine. Fermentation occurs over 20 days in oak barrels (50% new, 50% used) at a cool 13∘C to maintain its freshness, as no malolactic conversion takes place. Pairing Suggestions: Given its bright acidity, freshness, and mineral texture, this wine pairs exceptionally well with light and fresh dishes. Try it with goat cheese, grilled white fish, shellfish, asparagus, or classic spring and summer salads. Tasting Notes Expressive and lively, the wine offers complex aromas and bright flavors. On the nose, you'll find notes of delicate grapefruit, lemon peel, and peas, overlapping with floral notes of white peach blossom and fresh herbs, creating an immediate sensation of freshness. The palate features flavors of stone fruit, lemon peel, and pea water, all wrapped in a distinctive creamy yet mineral texture. The wine is precise, bright, and finishes fresh and tasty.
