Is Torrontés a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Blind tasted as part of the WSET exam yesterday afternoon. Unmistable monoterpene aromas (think of muscat, gewurztraminer etc). Similar characteristics abundant nose of peach lychee ripe pear but in body much more restrained. A wine to drink fresh and not for keeping. Apperently in Argentina there is a market for aged Torronted but this trend has not yet transcended abroad. This is no aging wine however as its not a premium wine. Salta region. Les genereux wijninkopers.”
