Fresh and tangy, with easy-to-love fruitiness (think grapefruit and crisp green apples) plus a refreshingly clean finish, this value-driven wine is pleasing on its own and just complex enough to be a good companion to seafood and/or a variety of lightly spiced dishes. The extensive Cuyo region, located on the eastern side of the Andes, borders Chile and encompasses the provinces of San Juan, San Luis and Mendoza. The colorful and attractive label offers a nod to Rousseau mingles with a reference to native art (“Astica” is an indigenous word for flower).
