Description: Oralia Estate is a winery known for its skin-contact Semillon (also called amber wine) from Mendoza, Argentina. It is also associated with a Malvasia skin contact orange wine. The Semillon is known for its vibrant mango and apricot flavors, with a unique 15% addition of rancio, a Catalan-style aged wine, lending it a sherry-like character. It is located in El Peral (Tupungato), one of the well known viticultural areas for the production of wine. The winery was built in the traditional style of Mendoza, with high walls and wood ceilings, providing a fresh, harmonic and natural environment needed for winemaking. Obtaining the highest quality in their wines requires having their own estate grown grapes at 800 meters above sea level.
