When I opened this bottle up I was amazed by the floral nose, almost as rich as a Condrieu, with some lemon overtones as the wine warmed up. Light golden hue and slightly cloudy. Dry and fruity: I was reminded initially of Gewurztraminer. Plenty of acidity and a pleasant, smooth feel on the mouth. Clearly a well produced and well balanced wine with only a strange twist to the taste on the finish (lanolin?) to complain about. Although I found this wine very evocative of variatals that I really enjoy, I would not buy more. Just didn't connect with it.

Very nice floral nose, crisp acidity with tropical and grassy flavors. Reminiscient of Conundrum as well as a Gruener Veltliner. As with those wines - this wine is an excellent companion for spicy food. Try with cheeses like a triple cream. Awesome buy fo 14 bucks.

Really liked this previously unheard of Argentinian white. Others have commented on the floral finish and I certainly found that also. Paired well with Sea Bass, but why not?

Still enjoyable, but probably past its prime. Slightly harsh and tart straw and lemon highlights.
