Drinking Window: 2020 - 2023
Grapes for this wine were meticulously sourced from 239 vines that were planted over 70 years ago, using the traditional parral system (pergola). Intense and attractively perfumed, including notes of white roses, lime zest, lychees, jasmine and grapey aromas. On the palate it is dry with exceptional concentration of fruit and a wonderful balancing freshness. Despite its richness and power, as well as 14% alcohol, it is harmonious. This is an outstanding example of Torrontés.
