Description
A fresh and expressive white wine from the high valleys of Catamarca. Entretantos Blanc de Blancs by Veralma blends the elegance of Chardonnay with the floral charm of Torrontés, creating a vibrant Argentine white that feels both refined and effortlessly drinkable.
In the remote valleys of Tinogasta, Catamarca, where desert landscapes meet the dramatic Andes Mountains, Bodega Veralma crafts wines that reveal a different side of Argentina’s winemaking tradition.
Entretantos Blanc de Blancs comes from Finca La Aguadita, a vineyard influenced by intense sunlight, dry air, and significant temperature shifts between day and night. This natural climate balance allows the grapes to mature slowly, preserving freshness while developing expressive aromas.
This distinctive white wine is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Torrontés, combining structure and elegance with Argentina’s most iconic aromatic white grape.
The grapes are harvested manually and carefully selected, then gently pressed to protect their delicate aromas. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine’s natural freshness and vibrant fruit character. The wine does not undergo oak aging, allowing the pure expression of the grapes and terroir to shine.
In the glass, the wine shows a pale translucent yellow color with subtle green and golden reflections. Aromas reveal ripe white fruits such as pear, apple, and peach, complemented by delicate floral notes typical of Torrontés.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, light to medium-bodied, and balanced, with a crisp acidity that keeps the wine lively and inviting. A subtle mineral touch and a clean, refreshing finish make it an ideal wine for relaxed gatherings, warm afternoons, or elegant aperitifs.
The name “Entretantos” reflects the philosophy behind the wine: like a swallow that chooses a different path from the flock, this bottle represents a unique origin and a distinctive identity within Argentine wines.
