Winery Review: "The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now."
My Review: The nose was subtle with tones of mango, pineapple, and cilantro. The palate had less of a floral bouquet, and this reminded me of a Japanese Matcha bubble tea drink. This was a full-bodied white with a medium finish that had asian pears, peaches, and honeysuckle. An overall bright, slightly acidic, and well-balanced Torrontes that I very much enjoyed. This would pair great with white chocolate, peach pie, and a fruit tart.
