Description
A bold reinterpretation of Argentina’s most aromatic white grape, crafted as a skin-contact orange wine that reveals unexpected depth, texture, and character.
Abismal Herencia Torrontés Naranjo represents the experimental and expressive spirit of Proyecto Abismal, an independent Argentine wine project dedicated to producing wines that authentically reflect terroir and craftsmanship.
While Torrontés is traditionally known for its vibrant floral aromas and fresh white wine style, this version explores a different path: extended skin contact fermentation, producing what is known as an orange wine.
The result is a distinctive Argentine wine that combines the signature aromatics of Torrontés with the structure and texture typical of skin-contact wines. This approach creates a layered and intriguing profile that appeals to curious wine drinkers and natural wine enthusiasts alike.
