The Torrontés grape was first brought to Argentina in the late 1800’s by Spanish immigrants. While most Argentine Torrontés is produced in La Salta, we prefer it from La Rioja. The region’s more moderate climate produces a Torrontés that is much more “focused” on the palate and considerably drier than most.
From the Wine Maker – “Notably aromatic of green melon and white peach. It has balanced citrus flavor with a touch of French oak to provide a crisp yet lingering finish.”
It is a wonderful as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood and poultry dishes.
