Remarkably similar to a torrontes tasting from Trumpter some 5 years ago. Might be a little fruit salad-simple at first glance / sip but the friendly simplicity really does grow on you. Some broadness and a little fat points to 90s chardonnay but some bitter fruit late keep things smart. That said the rhone-like oil is really quite attractive. Fully mature at 4yrs me thinks.

A: Pale lemon green N: Pronounced Intensity Petrol (tertiary), pine needles, pineapple, lychees, lots of white flowers, ROSES, orange peel, pepper. Reminiscent of gewürztraminer. Developing. P: Dry. Medium acid, medium alcohol (actually it was High ~14.3%), medium (+) intensity, medium (+) body and finish. C: Very Good Quality. A little imbalanced. Drink now, don't age. Pair with Thai food. Lovely aromatic grape. I will have Torrentes from the hilly northern Salta region again.

Clear, pale lemon appearance. Nose is clean with light intensity. Notes of green apple, citrus and floral. Palate is dry with high acidity and a medium body. Stone fruit, floral and spice. Medium- finish.
Good wine.

lots of fruit for torrontes over floral notes. lots of ripe pear aromas. more fruit than soapy and floral. a softer torrontes. easy drinking.
