Fantastic value. Highly aromatic with plenty of lychee, honey and sweet lemon notes. The palate is much more dry than the nose suggests, with intense notes of grape, white flowers, orange marmalade and nuts, finishing with hints of hard lemon candy.

Re-evaluating on another bottle, this one had all the plusses and none of the minuses. Intense ruby grapefruit, blood orange, apricot, honeysuckle, great viscosity, well balanced with crisp acidity

very tough, the bad, too much oak for torrontes, possibly over ripe fruit, but strong floral honeysuckle nose, intense, slightly sweet, pineapple, peach flavors, a bit tannic. If you find the right food match could be great. Reminded me of a dry sauterne, foie gras?

Less common white wine grapes (Houston, TX): Sweet floral aroma of jackfruit, with hints of typical riesling and muscat grape aromas. Flavor profile dominated by tropical fruits such as melon and white guava, with some minerality in the end. Surprisingly different than the more classical grape varieties.

The wine is a pale, clear golden yellow with thin legs.
The nose is an intrusive floral rose bouquet with a hint of apricot. The nose was so strong it overpowered the flavor profile with my grandmother's perfume. Once you used your steak knife to cut through the nose, the flavor profile was a slightly acidic mix of rose and citrus. We started drinking this wine too warm. This should be drunk as cold as possible.
We made the mistake of pairing this wine with a spicy taco salad, but even so it was not one of our favorites. A great taste test but one we would not buy again.

nice wine; tart, short finish, fragrant aroma, reminiscent for Riesling; saw a review describing the taste like a lime flower; I never would have used those words, but it is a very good description.

Nose: very sweet fruity nose! Lychee and white peach, some sweet white flowers, clover nectar, hint of lavender. Taste: dry, high acidity. Predominantly floral: lavender, white flowers. Some lemon zest, some white grapefruit. Very perfumey and soapy. Alcohol heat in the back. Not my fav, a little awkward and unsure how to pair this.

This is a pretty good effort by the three Argentinian brothers but, frankly, I don't see how Wine Advocate would give it a 92 score! The color is a light golden with a tinge of green. The nose shows lychee, rose, and honeysuckle. The plate is refreshing with citrus, fresh grass, rose, honeysuckle, jasmine, and pear but it is rather coarse and angular. It is much better with food but not really my cup of tea (or cup of wine)!

Pale color. Citrus and grassy notes at first, followed by soapy floral and lime aromas. Flavors of fresh chocolate mint leaves and citrus with bright, racy acidity. Guessed Albarino.

Floral, tropical and citric. Lots of grapefruit pith here to provide a nice bitterness on the finish. While I liked it, I think there are more sleeker examples out there at the same or lower price point.

Rather golden for a torrontes. On the nose I get very ripe orchard fruit, ivory soap, apple sauce, and cinnamon. Spo mentions papaya and I get that as well. I was hoping for a refreshing, light to medium bodied, pretty white. What I'm tasting is a heavy handed, sugar laden wine that is neither refreshing, nor pretty. I really do like the zesty finish. Drink very cold if you're looking for refreshment here. Reminds me in some ways of a gruner but this is flashy and obvious. I never thought I would say this about a torrontes but it might need a year to stretch out.

Typically Torrontes, a not well known grape. In Argentina is doing edtraordinaire well. Light, aromatic with out being flowery, slightly green leaves taste, but , much less than sauvignon Blanc. A must at summer aperitive aroun a pool or a pateo, white wine at its best for an casual event.

Very enjoyable. Will have to make a critical tasting on the next bottle to see if it is worth the additional cost over other torrontes.
