Winemaker / Tasting Notes

This Torrontés was the first of this style. Produced with grapes from Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco in Mendoza, at 1,150 m.a.s.l. (3,770 ft.), it fermented in French oak, where it remained for 4 months. Sublime and elegant, it reflects the delicate floral aromas of this unique variety with exotic fruit notes, hints of fresh lime and wild honey. Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous’ wine critic, describes it as “Everything a Torrontés wants to be when it grows up”.

FOOD PAIRING Fish, shellfish and spicy, aromatic dishes from Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines all pair well with this wine.
