| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ALTA VISTA |
| This distinctive extremely spicy white is made from destemmed Torrontés grapes that are gently pressed to avoid harsh phenolics and vinified without malolactic fermentation to preserve the grape’s vibrant aromas and fresh acidity. The wine is aged for 3 months on its lees to add complexity and mouthfeel and then in steel tanks. Very light straw colour with an intense, svery picy, lychee-Muscat nose. Dry, medium-light bodied, very sspicy, slightly lemony, intense, Muscaty-lychee flavours with a lingering crisp, unoaked finish. Ready-to-drink. Try with spicy Thai or hot Indian cuisine. Has 13% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. |

| TASTING NOTE: The aromatic and floral 2019 Estate Torrontés from the varietal range was produced with grapes from vines in Cafayate in Salta at 2,300 meters in altitude. The grapes were pressed in Cafayate and fermented in the winery in Mendoza. This comes across as halfway between a Gewurztraminer and a Moscatel, floral and spicy without overpowering aromas. This is a unique style to Argentina, and it would be great with spicy food. People automatically associate aromatic varieties with sweet wines, and they have a problem when they find a palate like this, dry and vibrant, which I think is great for food. 45,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019. Drink date: 2019- 2021. Score - 90 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2019) |
