A Riccitelli Old Vines Torrontes from Patagonia 2019. About £35 or so. First off had a wax cap which is always a pain. The wine is unfiltered and was more cloudy than I would have liked, but not off. A light bouquet of ripe peach and melon, hint of citrus. On the palate very dry and citrusy. Grapefruit. A couple of years ago I had a far cheaper version from Susana Balbo in Mendoza which was much better in my opinion, though subsequent bottles failed to keep. I was expecting a lot more from this wine.
