Gran Lurton

Blanco

  • Variety

    70% Tockaij, 7% Viognier, 7% de chardonnay and 15% Sauvignon Blanc. Every year the blend changes slightly according to the vintage. Nevertheless we keep on having 70 to 80 % of the Tokay Friulano variety fermented in barrels.

  • Location

    Our plots are located between 1000 and 1100 m.a.s.l in our Chacayes vineyard
    in Vista Flores. A small volume of the Tokay comes from old vineyards around
    Tupungato (North Uco Valley)

  • Tasting notes

    Its yellowish green color is representative of its main varieties, mainly Tokay but a bit of Viognier also. Fresh nose of green lime and herbs, hints of vanilla and hazelnuts, very balanced oak impression. The mouth is very supple and slightly buttered on the finish.

  • The Vintage

    After a dry Winter, we were surprised by an early Spring arrival. However, the cool
    temperatures came back by the end of January, which allowed to slow down the cycle
    and to balance the maturation process. Each one is different. 2015 is synonymous
    with freshness and boasts very pleasant acidity, and will produce complex fruit-driven
    white wines similar to Bodega Piedra Negra. This season was marked in particular
    by the exceptional earliness of Cabernet grapes, which were harvested in mid-April
    before certain Malbec grapes.We therefore obtained fresh wines with a very pleasant
    natural acidity, deep colour and floral noses.
