"Taste a ready-to-drink Torrontés with typical Argentine flavours!"
"Typical Torrontès aromas of white flowers, lychees and lemongrass. Becomes slightly more mineral on the palate, with crisp white fruit and a dry, floral finish of medium length. Simple and well-made. Drink now. Screw cap." (James Suckling 2024)
