Santa Julia La Vaquita Clarete Natural

Santa Julia natural wines are those wines with minimal human intervention throughout the whole process, from vineyard to winemaking. No sulphites are added and natural types of yeast are used in winemaking. The wine is bottled with no filtration.

All these wines, coming from organic certified vineyards, embrace the philosophy of Santa Julia and respect our supporting pillars regarding environmental care, innovation in the production of high-quality wines, and the concern for the community where we live.

La Vaquita is a clarete inspired by Olivia, a calf gifted to the owner’s niece Helena for her birthday. It is a wine crafted under the clarete method, arising from the fermentation of red and white grapes, the latter in smaller proportion. Composed of 80% Malbec and 20% Torrontés, it is a wine with a light color and a strong aromatic impact reminiscent of red fruits, with floral notes characteristic of Torrontés.
