This Torrontes has a pale, straw-like color and aromas of fresh cut white flowers and pear blossoms. Wet stone, nectarine, mineral and flinty orange rind are briskly paced in this Argentinian white. An herbal, drying finish that's persistent and delightful. The second night brought some intensity of flavors and more body in the wine. Drink now

2 bottles recently consumed, definitely has matured and softened some over the course of the past year but this wine still remains a delightful daily white quaffer and a superb summer wine, highly recommend this and it has a very good QPR. Pale yellow, clear, balanced and acidic with good fruit still present. I would drink up holdings in the next year or so, still drinking very well but not a wine built for the long haul. Nose softer with acid, tropical fruit and citrus with primary flavors include well structured and balanced acid, white fruit, green apple and pear - flavor profile less citrusy then the nose.

Bright and refreshing. A slight floral note you don't notice in similar varieties (e.g., albarino). Most enjoyable with food; it's more acidic than fruity.

Super delicious, very inexpensive and great QPR Argentinian torrontes white wine that will be one of our go to wines especially in the evenings out on the deck this summer, in fact this may be the best QPR wine in my cellar right now. Very glad we have a case of this. Very clean, clear and crisp, dry and minerally, slightly yellow, nose of green apples and a hint of white peach, body slightly fuller and rounder then the nose would suggest with primary flavors of lime, green apple and light pear. Highly recommend this but this is a daily drinker category wine to be drunk up in the short term, would not hold this for more then a year.
