Bright golden color. Aromas of stone and tropical fruits along with fresh herbs, wet stones and fresh cut grass. Flavors of ripe peaches, mango, pineapple and lychee fruit. Distinct mineral, saline and citrus notes on the long finish. Creamy texture and low acidity. Very interesting expression of the varietal. Well crafted, balanced and elegant. — 9 months ago

Pisano “Río de los Pájaros” Reserve 2024
Progreso, Uruguay 🇺🇾
Overview
An impressive white out of 100% Torrontés grapes from the Pisano family estate, representing Uruguay’s Atlantic expression of this aromatic varietal. Subtle yet elegant, this wine redefines Torrontés with finesse rather than flamboyance.
Aromas & Flavors
Enticing florals, white jasmine, honeysuckle, and orange blossom, lifted by stone fruit and citrus zest. Notes of lychee and pear gently unfold as it opens in the glass.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a rounded mid-palate. The texture is supple yet vibrant, giving a polished feel to a grape often known for exuberance. The finish is clean, layered, and persistent.
Food Pairings
Superb with ceviche, grilled shrimp, or Southeast Asian dishes with a touch of spice. Also delightful with goat cheese salads or simply enjoyed solo.
Verdict
A sophisticated take on Torrontés, aromatic yet balanced, expressive yet composed. A must-try example of Uruguay’s potential in white wines.Cheers!

I loved this!!! It has the taste of a Sav B but the mouth feel of an Albariño. Intense flavor, stone fruit notes, citrus and grapefruit notes. — 3 months ago
