Awards, Reviews and other Notes

88 pts Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Pale yellow. Subtle citrus and floral aromas, plus a hint of licorice. Intensely flavored and firmly built but not at all hard or tart, with notes of grapefruit, lemon, white flowers and spices. Lovely subtle, aromatic torrontes with a well-judged touch of residual sugar.

87 pts Robert Parker Jr.'s The Wine Advocate (JM)
Light straw-colored with a fragrant nose of baking spices, lychee, pineapple, and a touch of citrus. Crisp, dry, and lively, this vibrant, balanced effort will offer pleasure over the next 1-2 years.

Winemaker Notes

Torrontés is Argentina's signature white wine varietal. It flourishes in the province of Salta and in the plains of Mendoza. There are several clones of Torrontés. We decided to plant the Medocino clone which is best suited for our climate and soils. The grapes are fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve its lively fruit acidity and floral bouquet.
