| NEW in Vintages, spicy Torrontes withits lychee- rosewater aromatics are great with spicy, Asian cuisine. This reasonably priced 2019 is now at it’s peak of drinkability. Bright extremely pale straw colour, it has an extremely spicy, honeyed, lychee nose. Dry, medium-light bodied, bright, very spicy, quite well structured, fairly intense, honeyed, lychee flavours with a lingering, crisp finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2019 Anko Torrontés wants to showcase the floral, fresh and aromatic personality of the Torrontés grape grown in Cafayate. It's bottled unoaked and without malolactic, trying to preserve the primary character of the grape. It has floral and spicy notes, a little bit like a Gewurztraminer, jasmine rather than rose petals. Some 20% of the grapes were harvested quite early, like if it was a base wine for a sparkling wine, which makes it perfumed but subtle, more austere. The balance here is to manage to keep some saline notes to counterbalance the exuberance of the grape, and that's nicely achieved here. Drink date: 2019-2021.
