Reviews

Vinous Media 94

The 2023 Torrontes Signature is sourced from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley and was fermented and aged in barrels. Yellow in hue, it presents aromas of basil, bay leaf, white fruit and a touch of jasmine. The palate is austere, featuring a smooth, creamy expression balanced by high acidity. With a touch of malic acid, it offers a delicious, crisp profile achieved in a warm year.

James Suckling 94

Limes, spearmint and salt with some chalk and cement. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and beautiful fruit, complexity and character. Some seashells, dried citrus and Meyer lemons in the finish.
