Torrontés

About this grape variety

Argentina's signature aromatic white, Torrontés is the country's most distinctive native variety. Wines combine intense floral, muscat-like aromatics with a dry, well-balanced palate and moderate acidity. The grape thrives in high-altitude Salta and Cafayate, where dramatic diurnal temperature swings preserve the acidity essential to balance the aromatic exuberance. Best drunk young and chilled.
