About the Wine

 

From high altitude Cafayete fruit, this is the Basso family' crack at Torrontes and we're impressed. Strong fruit flavors mark this bottling and make a distinct impression on the pallet.  Another nice, easy to drink white wine for those lazy, sunny afternoons.

Tasting Notes

 

Pale yellow color. Offers up spring flowers, baking spices, and tropical aromas and flavors in an understated style. Medium body and a tangy apple, white blossom, and lemon finish.  Round, dry, and well-balanced, a great pairing with flaky fish courses.
