The 2022 Torrontés Estate is from Molinos, Salta. Torrontés is a variety best drunk young and recently made; that’s when it’s at its most alluring, and this is a perfect example. Yellow in the glass. The nose showcases notes of jasmine, early morning orange blossom, dew and country herbs against a citrussy, bitter orange background. It’s expressive with a compact, malic flow while the flavors fill the mouth, stretching out the long finish.
The varietal white 2022 Estate Torrontés has textbook notes of jasmine and orange blossom, looking for the delicate side of the variety through picking at 13.5% alcohol and keeping a low pH and good acidity. The grapes come from vineyards at 1,700 and 2,300 meters above sea level and fermented in stainless steel, and the wine was kept there for one month before being bottled. It's rich and supple, balanced and with a dry finish. Best after 2022.
