Under screwcap. Pnp. Pours very pale straw yellow. Definitely reminds me of Cafayete, Argentina! Fresh and clean nose that is unmistakably Torrontes. White stone fruit, white concorde grape juice, unripe apple and a bit of phenolics to add a layer of complexity. Medium bodied, crisp acidity, slightly noticeable alcohol, some phenolic astringency, but perhaps just lacking a bit of fruit on the back end as it finishes a bit lightweight. Fresh and clean on the palate too and in line with the nose. More white stone fruit than grape juice, citric acidity, slight herbaceousness and some grip on the finish. Well made, clean, fresh and tasty. A solid 90 pointer.

Screw cap. Fresh, medium-high intensity nose of floral, lemon citrus, grapefruit, and herbal aromas with a touch of thyme. On the dry, mid-weighted palate it has a very nicely textured mouthfeel with lovely floral, lemon citrus, thyme, grapefruit, lychee, apple, and herbal flavours supported by fresh, lemony, and zesty acidity. Leesy mineral notes arrive on the mid-palate and is joined by lemon citrus notes on the juicy and exceptionally long finish.
