Susana Balbo is one of Argentina's leading and most innovative winemakers. In 1981, Susana graduated as the first female oenologist in Argentine wine history. She then worked for 25 years for various large wine estates as a winemaker. She is seen as the 'Evita Péron' of Argentine viticulture. Influential, beloved and a little controversial. Under her motto 'where there is a will, there is a wine', she creates her way to her ultimate dream: her own winery where she can go wild with her ideas about making sublime wines. In 1999 she started her own wine estate Dominio del Plato in the heart of the Lujan de Cuyo in Mendoza. The winery is breathtakingly set against the backdrop of the Andes Mountains. In 2016 the name was changed to Susana Balbo Wines.
This White Blend Brioso comes from Susana Balbo's Signature series and are therefore her most beautiful and special wines. This wonderful Argentinian white wine from the Ucco valley is floral, aromatic and citrusy and is a blend of 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon and 30% Torrontés from Altamira. It has been aged for 4 months in French oak barrels, 60% first use and 40% second use. Balbo's White Blend has fresh notes of white peach and apricot, quite showy and expressive. The taste also shows that high complexity and elegance, with lively and pure, sharp flavors and a long, salty finish. It has an impressive minerality and weight on the palate. Extraordinarily beautiful wine.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2021 Susana Balbo Signature White Blend laat zich karakteriseren door expressieve bloemige en citrusachtige aroma's, frisse witte perzik en abrikoos, uitgesproken mineraliteit en een ziltige, lange afdronk met subtiel eikenhout en elegant gewicht in de mond. Dankzij die frisse zuren, de rijke textuur en de ziltige mineraliteit combineert hij prachtig met gevogelte, witte vis, schelp- en schaaldieren en salades; denk aan geroosterde kip met citroen en tijm, zacht gebakken kabeljauw of zeebaars met een lichte beurre blanc, en gegrilde coquilles of een salade met citrusvinaigrette waarbij de wijn de smaken opfrist en tegelijk zijn body en complexiteit aanvullen. |

From: Vibrant Whites from the Cool Terroirs of Argentina (Aug 2022)
The 2021 White Blend Susana Balbo Signature is a combination of 45% Sémillon, 32% Sauvignon Blanc and 23% Torrontés from Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley and was aged for four months in barrel. Pale green in the glass. The nose is complex and expressive with layered aromas of grass, white flowers, hints of melon and a faint whiff of citrus. In the mouth, the Torrontés takes prominence with tension and a degree of austerity by turns skinny and expansive. An accomplished style that thrived in the cool year.

You can say that Susana Balbo Wines has an unusual history. The woman behind this winery actually wanted to study nuclear medicine, but her parents did not allow her to leave Mendoza. Then she surrendered to the family culture: viticulture. She was the first woman in Argentina to become an oenologist and, once a winemaker, the first Argentine woman to be hired for advice by international wineries. In 1999 she started her own winery in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Her son and daughter also work in the family business. Located at the foot of the Andes mountains, the vineyards benefit from the pure meltwater that flows down in spring and summer. When making her wines, Susana combines the knowledge of the terroir with winemaking techniques. The art of blending, she says, is the way of expressing a winemaker's top talent. The play of aromas and flavors from the different terroirs resembles the color palette used by a painter.
