Katherine Able: May 30, 2011
The most popular white wine from Argentina, the Torrontés grape is a cross of Muscat of Alexandria and the Mission grape of Galicia. It makes a light, refreshing white wine with Muscat tones redolent of jasmine and orange blossoms. With medium straw-yellow color, the aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle in this wine progress into concentrated tropical flavors of guava, apricot, key lime and pineapple. It has nice weight on the palate and a long, pleasing finish. Charming and complex, this is a delightful match for delicate fish and shellfish and Asian-influenced cuisine.

Amazingly appealing aromatics of peach, citrus and mango urge you to explore this wine further. Rich nectarine and honey flavors are complemented by a good amount of acidity, making this a delicious and refreshing white that would be a great match with lighter fare.
