Winery review: The intense mountain sunlight and pure snowmelt water of the Andes gives the Alamos Torrontes its explosive floral aromatic character and bright citrus flavors. This crisp, refreshing wine is excellent with spicy empanadas and grilled fish.
My review: This Torrontes really reminded of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with hints of grass and ammonia on the nose and a light theme of fruitiness throughout; it is very pleasant in an aromatic sense. I would say that it is fairly dry with a lightly acidic, floral taste on the palette. It's just a light South American and I like it because it has character and the South America is very proud of the grape varietal Torrontes!
I had this wine without food.
