Winemaker's Notes
"Enticing aromas that are strikingly similar to Viognier, with hints of peach pit, white pear, flowers, and orange citrus fruit. On the palate, it has beautiful structure and acidity similar to Sauvignon Blanc along with enticing fruit flavors that keep you coming back for another sip and plenty of body for a wine that shows such delicate aromas and flavors. Fruity, floral and yet still quite dry, this wine has to be tasted to be believed. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, and seafood (especially crab!). Keep one in the fridge at all times!"

Technical Notes
"Torrontes was originally thought to be a variety that was brought over long ago from Northern Spain. But recent DNA testing has revealed that these vines are most likely the result of a hybrid created long ago from two grapes: Muscat of Alexandria & Criolla Chica (or what is called the Mission grape in California). While Torrontes is the most widely planted white wine grape throughout Argentina, the finest quality Torrontes comes from Cafayate, located in the Calchaqu� Valley in the northern province of Salta. The combination of high elevation (4800-5600 feet), very dry weather, intense solar radiation, cool nights, and sandy soils brings out its best characteristics. Best consumed in its youth. Hand-harvested; no oak; Acid 6.56; p.H. 3.35"
