In 1939, young Haroldo ‘Don Lolo’ Falasco started selling wine from the front of his bike, he had ambition and a dream; he worked hard over the next few decades with ever greater success to the extent that today, Bodega Los Haroldos are one of Argentina’s leading family-owned wineries.
Chacabuco Torrontes is an unoaked Argentinian white wine with a primary fruit character. The wine is named after the suburb of Buenos Aires where Don Lolo grew up. The wine is made from 100% Torrontes, with the grapes harvested in Los Alamos, Maipú, Mendoza. On the nose it has notes of peach, apricot and honeysuckle. The palate moves to flavours of passion fruit, honeyed lemon and orchard fruits.
Overall this is a well balanced South American wine which pairs perfectly with oven baked salmon or tagine with lemon and herbs. It works wonderfully with Asian foods, particularly Thai.
In 1556 fr Juan Cedrón established the first Argentinian vineyards in Mendoza using cuttings from the Chilean Central Valley. Argentina is now the worlds fifth largest wine producer. The many different grapes reflect the country's immigrant groups: the French brought Malbec, the Italians brought Bonarda and Torrontés is typically Argentinian found in the provinces of La Rioja, San Juan, and Salta.
Bodegas Los Haroldos is one of Argentina’s leading family-owned wineries. The story began in 1939 when Haroldo Santos Falasco, known as ‘Don Lolo’, wheeled his bicycle through the streets of Chacabuco selling his wines from the basket on the front.
80 years later, Franco Falasco and his siblings are responsible for their family’s legacy: creating wines of excellence and quality for the world to enjoy.
