Argentina has old Chenin Blanc that almost nobody bottles on its own — most of it disappears into anonymous blends — which makes this pergola-trained parcel in Los Sauces, planted back in the 1960s, a genuine find. Germán Masera started Escala Humana in 2015 and the name is the plan: human scale, small lots, nothing industrial. Livverá is his looser, more immediate range, and here that means the fruit is destemmed and given a short soak on the skins before pressing, fermented with wild yeasts in concrete eggs and left there eight months. No oak, no makeup, and the clay-loam and sandy soils of the Uco Valley give it a stony, saline edge that keeps the fruit honest. Serve it cold but not ice-cold, and pour it either before dinner or straight through it.

"A radiant nose of nectarine, tangerine and dried white flowers introduces the 2025 Livverá Chenin Blanc, followed by a racy and elastic mouthfeel that is among the more slender offerings in the Escala Humana range. It closes with a similarly vibrant and mouthwatering finish that lingers with delicate stony flourishes." —Matthew Luczy

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled sea bass with lemon, ceviche, roast chicken with herbs, empanadas de humita, or fresh goat cheese with green olives.

Tasting Profile

Lime, green apple and nectarine with a chalky, herbal edge. Medium-bodied and dry, with a faint textural grip from the skin contact, brisk acidity and a clean, saline finish.
