Winery Review: “The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now.”

Personal Review: This wine had a fresh, citrus aroma to it. You could smell a slight acidity in it. The wine had a clean taste to it. It was kind of tart and sour like an apple. It had a light, smooth feel to it, which was really refreshing. I really enjoyed this wine! I did not have it with food, but I will definitely be on the lookout for it to pair with a meal!
