Crios Torrontés by Susana Balbo Dominio de Plata 2012

Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaAlways consistent this Mendoza version of torrontés relies more on power and depth of flavour than ultimate finesse. That said it its spicy, floral, ginger nectarine skin aromas are sophisticated for the price. The attack is full-flavoured, juicy, and just off-dry with plenty of ginger, honey nectarine spice and citrus rind flavours. Indian/Thai/Chinese would each work well here.Tasted: 27 July 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
