James Suckling 92
Aromas of orange blossoms, lemons, quince, pears and tropical fruit. The palate is round and fruit-forward, with attractive volume and a tropical note in the finish.

Susana Balbo's Torrontes used to combine grapes from Salta and Mendoza, but is now focused entirely on the latter region, with a focus on Agrelo and Paraje Altamira. Entirely unwooded, it's a textbook expression of the variety from someone who knows it as well as anyone, with tangerine, lychee and citrus zest flavours and a refreshing, tapering finish.

Estate
Crios is a family-owned brand by Susana Balbo, Argentina’s leading and most innovative winemaker. Crios in Spanish means “offspring” and was created by Susana as a tribute to her son, Jose´, and daughter, Ana. Nowadays, Susana’s children have joined the family business and add their young-adult point of view to the wines that are dedicated to their family bond.Crios wines are harvested from specific areas in Mendoza and Salta in Argentina, where grapes are optimal for the fruit-forward style of Crios. Contrary to many entry level brands, Crios wines have a background, a story behind. Each wine carries an inspirational message that also represents either a milestone in Susana’s personal and professional life or the story about how the wine was made. Crios is also the perfect pairing at any meal!
