Mendoza, sited on a high-altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, is responsible for around 70% of Argentina’s wine production. Vines were first planted here by Jesuits in the mid-16th century, using techniques learned from the indigenous Huarpe people.
Bodega Los Haroldos, owned by the Falasco family, is one of Argentina’s leading family-owned wineries. Today the fourth generation continues the story that began in 1939 when Haroldo Santos Falasco, known as ‘Don Lolo’, began to wheel his bicycle through the streets of his small hometown of Chacabuco, 200km west of Buenos Aires, selling his wines from the basket on the front.
Los Haroldos Chacabuco Viognier wine has fresh notes of peach and apricot with some floral and aromatic notes. The palate is complex, fresh and unctuous with a lingering finish. A good match for many spicy Asian dishes.
