Torrontes Riesling blend. Highly aromatic with ginger, tropical fruits, citrus, orange blossom. Moderate acid, refreshing, simple with hint of minerals finish.

Rare Riesling blend from Argentina. Pretty noticeable actually. Sort of a nice inbetween for people who like sauv blanc and something less acidic.

Floral and citrus, with a bit of earthiness. The 15% Riesling makes a big splash.

Not bad. Bright, good acidity, and strong mineral core.

Wonderful porch wine! Great on a hot afternoon/evening... the Riesling really adds some pizzaz to the Torrontes.
