Torres Vina Esmeralda 2005
Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainEsmeralda dates back to 1961 when Torres began to experiment with European varieties not previously grown in Catalonia especially in the mountainous area of the Upper Penedès. It is always intense and floral on the nose mixing mineral, lemon oil and spicy, nectarine skin notes. This is the original summer sipper conceived by Miguel Torres long before the style was in fashion. This is a bright zesty white with lemon lime, lychee, green apple, quince and fruit cocktail undertones. Delicate yet capable of standing up to powerful spicy dishes. Try with calamari or mussels. The blend as always remains an 85/15 moscatel/gewürztraminer mix.Tasted: 30 May 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $13.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
