Description

Imagine yourself transported to the majestic vineyards of El Peral, Tupungato, nestled in the heart of Mendoza, Argentina. It is here, amidst the towering Andes Mountains and the crisp, clean air, that Escala Humana Wines crafts its extraordinary Credo Semillón. This is not just a wine; it's an experience, a testament to the dedication and passion of winemakers who strive to capture the very essence of the terroir.

The 2021 Credo Semillón is a bright, refreshing white wine that captivates the senses from the first pour. Its pale straw color hints at the vibrant flavors to come. The aroma is an exquisite bouquet of citrus fruits, like lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with delicate floral notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. A subtle hint of honey adds a touch of sweetness, perfectly balanced by a distinct mineral backbone that reflects the unique soil composition of the region.

On the palate, the Credo Semillón is dry and crisp, with a lively acidity that dances across your tongue. The citrus flavors persist, joined by a subtle hint of beeswax and a lingering minerality that leaves a refreshing finish. The wine is medium-bodied, offering a satisfying weight without feeling heavy or overwhelming. This wine is best served chilled, ideally between 8-10°C, to fully appreciate its delicate aromas and flavors. It is best enjoyed fresh, without the need for extensive aging.

Escala Humana Wines, whose name translates to 'Human Scale' represents the importance of the human touch in winemaking, from vineyard to bottle, emphasizing sustainability and quality. Choosing this wine means supporting sustainable practices and experiencing the true expression of Mendoza's unique terroir. The Semillon grape, when cultivated with precision in high-altitude regions like El Peral, yields wines of exceptional character and complexity. Tupungato, known for its cool climate and rocky soils, provides the ideal conditions for Semillon to thrive, resulting in wines with intense aromatics, crisp acidity, and a distinct mineral profile.

The Credo Semillón is the perfect wine to accompany a variety of dishes. Its crisp acidity and citrus flavors make it an excellent match for seafood, especially grilled fish, shrimp ceviche, or oysters on the half shell. It also pairs well with light salads, goat cheese, or creamy pasta dishes. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with spicy Asian cuisine, such as Thai curries or Vietnamese spring rolls. This wine is a beautiful complement to summer evenings, intimate gatherings, or simply enjoying a quiet moment of reflection. The Credo Semillón is a reminder that the best things in life are often the simplest. Raise a glass to the artistry of winemaking, the beauty of the Mendoza landscape, and the joy of savoring a truly exceptional wine.
