New Age Wines are made by Bodegas Valentin Bianchi, a fourth-generation, family-owned winery that got its start in 1928. From sustainably farmed vineyards in the country's San Rafael region in Mendoza, the naturally sweet mouthfeel comes from stopping the fermentation at the halfway point by spinning it in a centrifuge. I have never heard of that method, but it's on their website.
The lightly sparkling wine is light enough at 9% abv so that it won’t weigh you down. A great aperitif, or in one of the on-label cocktail recipes, This wine will also be a great pair with spicy dishes like Thai or Indian cuisine.
This off-dry white wine pours up a bit fizzy, but the bubbles dissipate quickly. The nose is highly aromatic, like white flowers and a hint of earth and tangerine. On the palate, the slightly sweet flavor is the highlight. Unfortunately there isn't much acidity, so just enjoy as an afternoon sipper or in a cocktail.
