The ‘White blend’ from Don Aparo is a mix of local Pedro Gimenez, Chenin Blanc and Torrontés. The result is a wine with a fruit bowl of flavours with fresh, vibrant weight and a clean finish.

Origin: Argentina – despite the name, it’s not Spanish Pedro Ximénez, but a distinct local variety. Mainly Grown In: Argentina, especially in Mendoza and San Juan, where it’s one of the most widely planted white grapes (though often overlooked). Key Facts: Pedro Giménez (with a ‘G’) is the workhorse white of Argentina – historically grown for volume rather than glamour. For decades, it filled bottles of table wine and box blends, but recently a few adventurous winemakers have seen its untapped potential. When treated with care, Pedro Giménez can produce fresh, crisp, and citrus-driven wines, with floral lift, green apple and tropical hints. It’s light-bodied and refreshing, with moderate acidity and a gentle, easy-going personality. Think of it as the underdog of Argentine whites – modest, but surprisingly charming when given the spotlight. Fun Fact: Pedro Giménez is sometimes referred to as the “Cenicienta” (Cinderella) of Argentine wine – waiting for its moment to shine.
