Production areaSituated in the Tulum Valley in the province of San Juan, Argentina. Grapes are grown on high-elevation vineyards at 2,133 feet above sea level with a temperate climate, low rainfall, and rich sandy alluvial and clay loam soil.
BackgroundBodegas Callia was established in the San Juan Valley of Argentina in 2002 by the Pon family, owners of Bodegas Salentein. Tapping into the expertise, resources, and world-class team of winemakers, founder Mijndert Pon, built a modern, innovative winery that supports the people, nature, and community around it. Fruit-forward, youthful, and dynamic, Callia wines deliver exceptional quality at an excellent value to consumers. The smooth well-balanced taste of Callia inspires people to relax and unwind from the daily grind, reconnect with friends and family, and savor life's simple pleasures. Sourced from vineyards using sustainable practices: drip irrigation, use of organic mulch, and planting vegetation to reduce high temperatures. The region's ventilating winds reduce the need for pesticide and herbicide use.
VinificationThe Pinot Grigio grapes were harvested in the early morning to avoid altering the typical color of this varietal and were then gently pressed for the same reason. Fermentation was made at an average temperature of 17°C for a period of 12 days. The wine was then allowed to remain in contact with its fine lees for two months before it was filtered.
