The show goes on: New products that would’ve launched at ProWein

Susana Balbo Wines

Argentine wine producer Susana Balbo Wines is launching two new wines,  a terroir-oriented organic Malbec and an orange Torrontés fermented in terracotta amphorae.

With the Torrontés, Susana wanted to go back to her origins in Cafayate, in the Valles Calchaquíes in the Salta province in northwest Argentina, where the knowledge of the variety and the use of terracotta amphorae, allows her to show how this variety was made forty years ago.

The wine is made using grapes from Altamira, and remains in contact with the skins for a long time, giving it a delicate orange colour. “Aromas of white peach, orange peel and jasmine and a spicy and voluminous palate, it is a transparent, elegant and persistent wine, which redefines the unique personality of the house Torrontés,” the company said.

It is also releasing the first grape-based, non-alcoholic natural beverage from Argentina, called Envero, which taps into the growing health trend for no and low alcohol alternatives.

“This product was conceived as an option for anyone who wants to enjoy the wine lifestyle but want to reduce their intake of alcohol, and also for parents who want healthier beverages for their kids, or for pregnant women,” the company said.
