Tim Atkin 94pt

A wine that supersedes the limitations of the Torrontes variety, this is the kind of thing that you could slip into a tasting of Pessac-Leognan whites. Fermented in new, lightly toasted barrels, it has layers of elderflower, wet stone and nettle, a waft of cumin and cinnamon, subtle oak, and a long, refreshing, tapering finish.

James Suckling 93pt

A joy to taste, this unique torrontes exhibits a combination of typical showy perfume and subtle restraint from the wood. Expect orange blossoms, anise, chamomile, lemongrass and melon with a touch of creamy peaches. Crisp yet textured, offering medium body and a bright, slightly tangy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Vinous Media 95pt

The 2025 Torrontes Barrel Fermented Signature spent six months in steam-treated barrels. Curious aromas of basil, light reduction, herbs and gentle flowers shape the nose. Crisp and intense, with a mildly chalky feel, it is an energetic, flavorful white. This is modern and attractive, picked just before the rains changed the character of the vintage

Wine Advocate 93pt

Perennially a unique and definitive example of the variety, the 2025 Signature Barrel Fermented Torrontes originates from vines in Paraje Altamira, planted in 2006, and matured for six months in first- and second-use barrels. A lively and nimble bouquet of dried citrus, beeswax, stone fruits and tropical accents introduces a dense, concentrated mouthfeel that seamlessly moves into an atypically fresh, cleansing finish.
