Lovely lifted white floral notes embrace a profusion of peach and pear in the core. Light as an aperitif, but also aromatic enough to pair with mild and medium curries. Terrific.

Reviews and Ratings

Lesley Quinn - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Torrontes is a hidden gem of a grape varietal because of price but also because of its easy drink-ability. Although some can be watery, not this one. Cuma delivers a nose reminiscent of walking into a flower shop, and a palate of lip smacking fruit, the finish is also very well balanced. I didn't get to taste this wine with any food, but it certainly can stand up on its own, I think it would be great with a Jamaican Jerk Chicken dish.
