Pale lemon; pronounced intensity aromas of golden pear, nectarine, white grapefruit, white flower, musk, passionflower, kaffir lime leaf; dry, high acid, medium alcohol, medium body, pronounced intensity flavors consistent with aromas; I blind called this a large a Sauvignon Blanc, all the aromas and flavors were pointing me that way with all the musky fruit, very surprising

Interesting light crisp white. Made from 100% Torrontes which has a fruity nose with a dry taste. Aromas of stone fruits and sweet floral notes. On the palate peach flavors with citrus zest, very crisp. Medium finish ending with lemon tones. A must try! Great with spicy foods.

Good daily drinker. Moderate acidity and lighter body make it pair with spicier lighter bodied foods. Would pair with spicy seafood soups

A singular white wine from the most elevated vineyards in the Salta Region, Argentina. A very characteristic white grape, very perfumy, known for its solid notes of lime, green slided apples, lychee, and mandarin aromas. Lively acidity, green mango, tropical fruits, slightly astringent, somewhat floral on the mid-range palate. Clean finish and well balanced. Super approachable, affordable and casual. Great to pair with ceviche and raw fish dishes.

Citrusy but less dry than a Sauvignon blanc

This is a very nice white with lemon, lime, and pear flavors. Acidity is right and you will think it’s a Sauvignon Blanc.

Very nice. Pale yellow with citrus, green apple and buttery flavors. Good choice for spicy asian or curry dishes.

Light honey-hued. Aromas and flavors of cream, lemon, minerals, and pear. Light body and high acidity. Zesty on the nose; crisp and dry on the finish with hints of passionfruit, salt, and stone. Pairs well with seafood. Reminiscent of a lemon/lime seltzer. Made from 100% Torrontes.
