Reserva High Altitude Vineyards Mendoza Torrontes
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
This Bodega is owned by LVMH. The same ownership as Cheval Blanc, part of Krug, D’Yquem, Dom Perignon, Ruinart, Cheval Des Andes, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Givenchy etc...
On the nose; meyer lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, honeysuckle, soft, delicate minerality, brilliant white & yellow lilies with spring flowers.
On the palate, the body is thick & waxy. The fruits are different on the nose. The are macerated and sour; meyer lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, honeysuckle, soft, big volcanic minerality, fair amount of saline, brilliant white & yellow lilies with spring flowers. There is something on the palate that reminds me of lemon pledge but not furniture polish.
Photos of; their spotless cellar and tanks. Roman influences into their Bodega. Landscaping around the property. Bodega reciving area.

Tropical and citrus fruit and flowers on the nose. Lots of pineapple, apricot and minerals on the pallet. Viscous and waxy. Also a hint of petrol on the finish.

Blind tasting 1 of 5. First Torrontés I’ve ever tried. Greenish yellow on the eye. Very perfumed, flowery, with a hint of citrus, grapefruit maybe. Very fresh... Easy on the pallet from star to finish.
