The Pioneer estate winery is based in Gualtallary one of the highest districts in the Uco Valley, Mendoza at around 1200m above sea level. It was founded by Roberto Luka in 1997, naming it after his partner’s daughter Sophia and his daughter Eugenia. The sheer height means the vineyards experience abundant sun during the day and much cooler nights. This, combined with sandy and stony soils, ensures a long growing season for ripe fruit and a refreshing acidity for expressive and elegant wines that stand out. They are certified sustainable and have now been confirmed organic which will mean wines from 2023 onwards are certified.
Tasting Notes
A beautiful Torrontes from the Finca Sophenia Estate in Mendoza. The colour is pale yellow with green hints, it presents intense floral aromas combined with tropical fruit and citric notes. The palate is full of concentrated flavours of lemon, pineapple and white blossom with refreshing mineral sensations and an elegant finish.
