Another Argentina - Part I
Another Argentina - Part I
There are several newsletters that I have been meaning to send over the past year. Moving up the street and rolling out the new website may have set back my plans, but I'm finally getting to it! Highlighting my favorite Verdejo producers was on the list, rounding up a compendium of unfortified Palominos is definitely on the list (stay tuned!). I have also been meaning to put a spotlight on producers in Argentina who are working outside of the international, point-score model - in the Chambers Street ethos: Farming organically or biodynamically, hand-harvesting, fermenting with native yeast, and using less (whether it be new oak, or added sulfites, among many possible treatments or additions). Though not an exhaustive list, today's feature focuses on a few estates that have thoroughly impressed us, and represents a glimpse of Another Argentina. Part II will follow later this year, as there are many more producers worthy of mention! -Eben Lillie
