Reviews and Ratings

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Nose is subdued by some Torrontes standards; white pepper spiciness with acacia, mint, pineapple, mandarin peel.

Round and structured on the palate, mid+ acidity and beautifully balanced. Fruits and herbal characteristics in equal portion, with a long savoury finish.

Drinking well now, but am looking forward to see how this is in another 3-5 years.

Tasted October 2019.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely and refreshing. Aromas of sweet orange, pineapple, white pepper and some green herbs. Light and refreshing on the palate, with a hint of salinity, and almost a floral note on the finish. Enjoy with fresh seafood.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
