| Salta is a tiny region that contributes only a fraction of Argentina's total wine production, but stressing quality over quantity has always been Salta's priority, particularly when it comes to Argentina's signature white grape, Torrontés. This example is from the well-known Catena family, one of the most significant producers in Argentina. You can expect this wine to be crafted in a pretty and easy-to-enjoy wine that is characteristically floral and delivers lime citrus tones in a pure and vibrant package. |
