Winery Review: "Yellow colour with greenish nuances. Very intense aroma of fresh grapes, flower perfume and mature peaches. Fresh in the mouth. Light and easy to drink. Ideal with seafood, Thai and Chinese food."
My Review: A great value wine for ~$6. This Torrontes had lime and Asian pear on the nose. The palate had a garlic butter component, as well as a predominant flavors of green grapes and apple. I also got subtle hints of olive oil and freshly-cut grass, so there was that earthy and mineral part as well. I did not enjoy this wine as much as the previous Chardonnay, but it was still made for casual drinking. I think this would pair very well with an herbed salmon and tossed salad.
