Ben Marco Torrontes 2013
Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaAll hail Altamira and this amazing torrontés and the confidence of Susana Balbo's team to barrel ferment this variety. A fifth of the wine spends three months in new French oak adding an interesting element of weight and texture to torrontés which helps to balance off the obvious aromatic/floral notes, fresh peachy apricot fruit and citrus mix. Food friendly to say the least. Terrific styling and perfect match with curry.Tasted: 01 October 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:ON | $18.00 | 750ml | |
