"Torrontés offers the floral notes of roses, the citrus aroma of grapefruit and a spicy hint. In the mouth it is fresh, round and well-bodied with a long, elegant finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Aromas of honeysuckle, peach, honeydew melon and lychee. It’s medium-to full-bodied with crisp acidity and a focused, concentrated and fresh finish. Drink and enjoy. Screw cap." —James Suckling "A Torrontés from Cafayate where harvest time is key. Neither under- nor overripe, it presents aromas of orange blossom, lime and tuberose, and offers sparky freshness in the mouth, good volume for the variety, real intensity of flavor and a slightly bitter finish, as one would expect from a terpenic grape." —Vinous "There are subtle notes of jasmine and orange blossom in the nose of the 2020 Estate Torrontés, which was harvested at the end of February before the heat wave at 13.5% alcohol, keeping a low pH and good acidity with grapes from vineyards at 1,700 and 2,300 meters in altitude. It fermented in stainless steel and was kept there for one month before being bottled. The finish is very dry, with a chalky sensation akin to limestone soils and chalk. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020." —Wine Advocate |
