2010 Harvest - Salta

Winter arrived late, and minimum temperatures were very low. As in Mendoza, the spring brought late frosts, reducing average yields in the Cafayate Valley. Correct canopy management allowed us to achieve excellent quality, and the dry summer ensured good vine health. Lower yields in Torrontés in particular resulted in excellent aromatic expression with intense citrus and mineral notes. Harvest occurred in March.

Wine Review Online
"Torrontés is a Spanish grape that found a home in Argentina's Mendoza Valley, although ampelographers claim it is not the same grape as the Spanish Torrontés. Not unlike another Spanish white, Albarino, or even a California Viognier, Torrontés has forward ripe peach aromas and flavors, accented with citrus peel and low intensity minerality. There's mouth-watering acidity, plenty of fruit, 13.8% alcohol and good length. Think of this wine as a summer sipper or with light meals."
