Pale straw yellow with greenish hues. Very aromatic nose of citric notes - lemon, lime, gooseberry -, floral notes, boxwood, and a hint of jalapeños, all jumping put of the glass. On the palate very refreshing, citric but very well-balanced, floral notes, cactus even, with a hint of nutmeg and jalapeños again. Superb PQR, and very interesting regional style this Torrontés.

This wine makes me a believer in torrontes. Soft and round with citrus and honeyed flavors and an incredible eluring nose. The citrus gives way to an earthiness and mouth feel that resembles a red wine. Crisp finish with a lingering floral finish.

This is my favorite white wine that I have tried in a long time; I think it is exquisite but also accessible, although I felt like I enjoyed it most on its own and didn't find it paired as well with food.
Like described on the bottle, the aroma is explosively fruity and floral, almost perfumey. I think of the fruity qualities as less citrusy and more like tropical fruits, pineapple maybe. There are also a few herbaceous notes, almost minty. Flavor is lightly sweet, never too much. The finish is dry and clean, and there's only a hint of sourness throughout.
I found this wine had a broad appeal too. It suggests sweetness without actually being very sweet, I like drier wines and I enjoyed it, but some of my friends who enjoy sweeter white wines also liked this one.

Vier sterren voor deze Argentijn! De wijn is mooi licht. De bloemige geur komt je tegemoet, ook wat citrus. Ik bespeur ook mango. Misschien ook wel wat zoetig (muscatel). In de mond is ie in balans, met een hele fijn zuurgraad, je proeft exotische en citrus vruchten, waaronder kiwi.

medium-full body, lowish acid, and rich ripe fruit.
Honeysuckle, fresh celery, and something floral are overshadowed by peach, mango, pineapple, guava, and lime. i could keep listing fruit descriptors but you get the idea. heavy handed but delicious. There is a definite impression of sweetness but i imagine minimal residual sugar.
a pleasure on its own and a great value but this could overwhelm some delicate dishes. perfect summer cocktail or party wine.

Excellent and very interesting. This has some body like a light red, but plenty of acidity of a great white. Very floral with earthy tones and aromas of mushrooms. Nice white for "red wine drinkers" or someone who want's something different, but not obscure.

Light yellow-straw color. So floral (honeysuckle, orange blossom, magnolias), some pineapple, mango and lychee. Moderate acid, a juicy feel to the palate, the wine is laced with flowers and baby’s breath. The lychee, mango and guava fruit is rich but not too bold, as the wine maintains a bright appeal. Not too complex, but a great mix of freshness and tropical lushness. If you’re looking to discover Torrontés, this is a great place to start

Getting hard to still the 2014 vintage. Still a hint of nutmeg detected.

2914 is the best vintage to date. Getting hard to find. The predominate flavor per my wife is "nutmeg" and that's the main reason she loves the 2014.

Delightful, and a great value. This is a very food-friendly wine, and a good introduction to Torrontés. Served with a ginger chicken stir-fry.
