Argentina
New Age Wines from Argentina
New Age White (an effervescent blend of citrus-y Sauvignon Blanc and fruity Malvasia) and New Age Rose (also effervescent, with Argentina’s signature Malbec red grape and Merlot) add a distinctive Argentine touch when combined with various fruit juices for a South American Mimosa, Cosmopolitan or even New Age Sangria.
Yet, the most common way to enjoy New Age is on the rocks with a slice of lime or lemon. This highly refreshing drink is called “Tincho” after the cocktail’s creator. In Argentina, New Age is usually ordered by the bottle for a group of friends to enjoy. The well-chilled New Age White or Red is brought to the table in an ice bucket, along with traditional “rocks” glasses filled with ice and sliced limes or lemons. The friends share the bottle and camaraderie together at the table. Common practice at traditional “happy hour watering holes” and night clubs in Argentina, this tradition is starting to catch on here in the United States.
Santa Julia Reserva Malbec
Tilia Cabernet Sauvignon—91 Pts Wine & Spirits!
The nose of this Cabernet is full of ripe red fruits, sweet spice, and a touch of tobacco. It has a dark purple color with ruby red tones. The texture of the wine shows red currant and cassis fruit layered with notes of cedar and espresso bean. The finish is soft and sweet with finely grained tannins adding structure and length.
