Reviews and Ratings

Michel Pambrun rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

From the under appreciated white grape of Argentina, Torrontes. This wine is a dry, crisp white with notes of tropical fruit, zesty lemon and lime, grapefruit, floral rose notes, and lots of minerality. Bracing acidity makes it extremely food friendly. An expressive and excellent value wine, perfect for those late Summer days n nights. Blend of 95% Torrontes 5% Viognier.
Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This fresh, bone dry Torrontés, the signature white grape of Argentina, comes from the high altitude desert of the Tulum Valley in the region of San Juan, known for crafting premium whites. With a touch of Viognier in its blend, this is an expressive and aromatic white displaying abundant floral notes and bright acidity. It is bursting with citrus aromas and flavours of lemon drops and lime with pronounced minerality and a clean finish. Food friendly and versatile, a fine choice with succulent lobster bits dipped in creamy sauce.

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.
