Deep maroon color. High concentration. Herbal and floral nose. Beautiful red fruits. Low tannins. Medium finish with mineral. Would absolutely buy this again — 7 months ago
I loved this. Opened it with Italian food and it was a perfect accompaniment. It’s got a good depth of flavour on its own, but definitely great with pasta or cheese etc. Yummy. — 3 years ago
CW. A bit tight the first night, a clean and pure representation of torrontes the second night. — a month ago

2023 El Esteco Torrontés
Salta, Argentina – High-Elevation Elegance
A beautifully expressive Torrontés crafted from two distinct vineyard sites in the high-altitude Salta region, some of the highest vineyards in the world.
This white delivers bright layers of lime zest and orange peel, lifted by a lovely floral edge. The mouthfeel is refreshing and round, with just enough weight to keep things interesting. Crisp, aromatic, and super clean on the finish.
Viognier fans, take note, this one’s got that same aromatic charm and soft, fleshy texture. A fun, vibrant white that keeps calling you back for another sip. Cheers! 🍊🌸⛰️ — 10 months ago

"after harvesting from vines with deep roots in the rocky soil on the banks of the Mayuco river, Raul and his brother Alvaro chose to go organic and use no oak, letting this stallion of a wine rip with spice, pepper and ripe fruit. Mineral notes hit once on the palate followed by a long finish." — a year ago

Nice, simple, fruity, and smooth. I feel it is significantly under-rated by the score above. To me this is a 90-91. It’s not complex but it’s damn good and an utter steal for $9.99 — 18 days ago
