Crios Torrontes
What helps it stand out is the concentration & cool flavor profile- bright green herbs, not soapy-great snap, acidity. And for under 10$....

Jan 16th, 2018This is very charming on the nose. Mangoes, ginger, white flowers, tangerines, pears, very tropical and floral. Moderate acid with great mouthfeel. Goes down easy. Better than Amalaya. Love it!

2 people found it helpfulMay 25th, 2014This classic unoaked Torrontés, made from grapes harvested very early, offers scents of lemon, fresh apricot, flowers and lichee and a salty, sappy, very dry palate impression that reminded me of Chablis. It should make a terrific aperitif but could also pair well with grilled fish or sushi. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2018)

M + acidity, Mayer lemon, tangerine peel, ripe yellow peach and grapefruit on the palate. Just slightly bitter at the end when the wine is a bit warm. M+ finish. A classic Torrontes for $15.
