Crios Torrontés by Susana Balbo Dominio de Plata 2009
Salta, North, ArgentinaSusannah Balbo is the queen of torrontés and her 'handpicked' handmade expression of this spicy, floral, high-altitude white wine is one of the best. Look for a dry, elegant, fresh palate with a bit of fat and plenty of fresh lychees, nectarine skin flavours flecked with ginger. Finish is fresh and juicy with more lemon zest and bitter ginger. Excellent quality for the price. Tasted: 05 December 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $20.00 | 750ml | fine wine shops |
