“Enjoy a ready-to-drink Torrontés with typical Argentinian flavors!”
“Typical Torrontès aromas of white flowers, lychees and lemongrass. It becomes slightly more mineral on the palate, with crisp white fruits and a medium-length, dry, floral finish. Simple and well-made. Drink now. Screw cap.” (James Suckling 2024)
