Dominio del Plata (Susana Balbo)
Crios Torrontes
This classic unoaked Torrontés, made from grapes harvested very early, offers scents of lemon, fresh apricot, flowers and lichee and a salty, sappy, very dry palate impression that reminded me of Chablis. It should make a terrific aperitif but could also pair well with grilled fish or sushi. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2018)

May 4th, 2020Good value and great example of the varietal. Floral on the nose but more fruity and dry. Notes of lychee and heavy stone fruit. Pairs well with spicy food bc of high acidity.

Feb 9th, 2020Big acidic pop right off the hop. Tan, Alison and Val liked, Az did NOT. By the end of the glass, appeal had dampened for everyone.
