San Juan Province, produced by
Bodega SolAlto
More than 400 years ago, Spanish explorers discovered why the Incas and their
descendants coveted the Tulum Valley in San Juan Province; bordered by the
mountains and warmed by more than 320 days of sunshine each year, the pristine
environment, pure irrigation water and 2,000 foot elevation makes this location
ideal for vineyards whose fruit yields rich, flavorful wines. SolAlto’s
vineyards are located between the Andes and the Pie de Palo ranges, on the west
bank of the San Juan River. Tulum Valley’s bright sunshine lends its name to
this wine, which translates as “High Sun”.
The vineyards are characterized by alluvial sandy and clayish permeable soils
and are all hand harvested. Full bodied Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay and more
recently, Pinot Grigio wines are made from this vineyard fruit and are marked by
the intense colors and deep flavors characteristic of the wines made from the
finest Tulum Valley vineyards.
Our winemaker invites you to fill your glass with the smooth, crisp flavors of
the High Sun - SolAlto.
Pinot Grigio
This wine is noticeably and enjoyably different from the lightly flavored Pinot
Grigio so often produced from warmer, lower elevation vineyards. SolAlto brings
a mouthful of crisp fruit flavors, citrus and floral aromas and a pale straw
color that makes it easy to understand why Pinot Grigio is the fastest growing
white wine in America today. This is a fine choice for sipping as an aperitif or
to accompany seafood, salads and rice or risotto dishes.
Chardonnay
This crisp white wine shows pear, pineapple and peach flavors, and pleasant
tropical aromas followed by a smooth, creamy finish. It’s made to enjoy with salmon,
crab, shrimp and almost any fish or light pasta; this Chardonnay also has the
body and balance that make it ideal to sip and enjoy by itself.
Merlot
This smooth red wine has colors of dark blackberry and glints of ruby red. The
aromas are spices and red berries with just a hint of smooth tannins. Serve with
beef, pork (especially grilled chops or pork tenderloin) and medium bodied
cheeses.
Cabernet Sauvignon
An elegant, deep purple shaded wine that fills your glass with red fruit and
cassis aromas. This is a very well balanced, smooth Cabernet with a fresh,
satisfying finish. Enjoy with beef, lasagna, lamb, or for a change of
pace, serve it for dessert with dark chocolate or a rich chocolate cake.
Malbec
Argentina’s signature grape requires abundant sunshine, high altitude vineyards
and wide daytime temperature variations for optimum color and taste – a perfect
description of SolAlto’s vineyards. This wine has a deep, brilliant red color
with delicate plum and spice flavors. The smooth tannins and satisfying finish
make this an ideal choice for red meat dishes, grilled hamburgers or pasta with
red sauce.
