Aromas of pineapple, peaches and orange blossoms. The palate is transparent and luminous, yet delivers impressive concentration. Dense and textured, with a saline edge and rich, layered fruit. As its name suggests, it's fermented and aged in barrels.

Not everyone can make oak work with Torrontes, partly because the variety has such a strong personality, but the Susana Balbo team have pulled it off with aplomb. Fermented in new 500-litre barrels, this has lovely patisserie spice and tangerine aromas, flavours of green fig and lime and a poised, lingering finish.
