2015 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontés

Year: 2015

Producer: Crios de Susana Balbo Winery

Region: Salta, Argentina

Grape(s): Torrontés

Alcohol: 13.5%

Price (approximately): $10

Winemaker's Notes:

Enticing aromas that are strikingly similar to Viognier, with hints of peach pit, white pear, flowers, and orange citrus fruit. On the palate, it has beautiful structure and acidity similar to Sauvignon Blanc along with enticing fruit flavors and plenty of body for a wine that shows such delicate aromas and flavors. Fruity, floral and yet still quite dry, this wine has to be tasted to be believed.

Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, and seafood.
