Conejo Verde White Blend was created from Bodega Los Haroldos’ desire to showcase a fresher, more easy-going side of Argentina, far from the structured reds we are used to. We are in La Consulta, one of the most renowned areas of Mendoza. Here, the soil is poor and stony, forcing the vines to dig deep in search of nutrients. A local anecdote says that the name “La Consulta” comes from a historic meeting between General San Martín and the Pehuenche indigenous leaders, which took place in these very lands before crossing the Andes. Today, the same land hosts vineyards at significant altitude, around 900 metres above sea level, where the sun shines intensely but the air remains fresh. Vegan certified white wine: no animal-derived products are used at any stage of clarification, preserving the integrity of the fruit and respecting the ethical choices of those who drink it. This wine falls into the category of modern blends from the Valle de Uco, a region that is rewriting the rules of Argentine viticulture by focusing on aromatic precision and vibrant acidity. A well-balanced trio of Viognier, which brings body and yellow fruit notes, Sauvignon Blanc and Torrontés, Argentina’s flagship white grape, which adds an unmistakable floral touch. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed in pneumatic presses and fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages on its fine lees for three months. In the glass, it appears a pale straw yellow, almost transparent, with bright greenish reflections. On the nose, grapefruit and lime zest stand out immediately, followed by tropical notes of pineapple and a hint of white flowers. On the palate, it is straight and lively, with a minerality that invites another sip straight away. It doesn’t overcomplicate things and finishes clean and persistent. For pairings, grilled fish or chicken or vegetarian tacos are ideal, where spices and lime echo the wine’s aromas.
