Description
Walter Bressia, owner and winemaker of Bodegas Bressia, has been in the Argentine wine trade since the early 1980’s. Before founding his family winery in 2003, he was the winemaker at Bodega Vistalba and Viniterra. Walter and his wife Marita, along with daughters Marita & Antonella and sons Walter Jr. & Alvaro, produce some of Argentina’s finest wines.
Walter is one of the most respected winemakers in Argentina, and his concept involves the notion of “Vinos de Autor” (Author’s wines) or personalized high-quality wines. Bressia has 320 oak barrels, almost all new French and American oak (60% French, 40% American).
Sylvestra wines show typicity, varietal power and careful elaboration from the Bressia family with the character, freshness and rebelliousness of the new generation. Fruity aromas, floral memories and authentic flavors – here is the expression of Sylvestra, with no oak, just fruit.
Greenish yellow color with good and brillant intensity. The delicate bouquet reveals white peach, white flower blossom and roses aromas. Well-balanced, elegant, fresh and fruity on the palate, this Torrontes is full-flavored, unctuous and persistent in the mouth.
“The 2022 Torrontés Sylvestra hails from the Uco Valley. Pale yellow in the glass. The herbal nose features mild muscat and orange blossom notes. Dry and lean in the mouth, the tart, refreshing palate has a hollow core energized a touch by the lingering fruity finish. Mendoza – By Joaquín Hidalgo”

“A waxy and floral white with notes of white flowers, lychees, white peaches and lemons. Medium-bodied, fragrant and a little soapy. Drink now.”
