Crios Torrontes reminds us to break the rules - that tinkering with assumptions can lead to rewards like seeing a common blending grape become Argentina's star white wine. Crisp, refreshing and aromatic, with a bouquet of citrus fruits, passion fruit, lychee and white flowers. Lively acidity, a hint of creaminess and a long, mineral finish add depth and balance to the palate. Aged for 3 months in stainless steel tanks of the lees to add structure. Pair with smoked meats, medium cheeses, fish, crab, sushi.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The varietal 2022 Crios Torrontés was produced with a 50/50 blend of juice from Cafayate in Salta and Paraje Altamira in Valle de Uco, fermented in their respective regions and then assembled in her winery in Mendoza. It has typicity, notes of orange blossom and other white flowers, but also a citrus side; it's crisp and aromatic with 13% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity that makes it easy to drink and refreshing, with a mellow mouthfeel."
