Amalaya Torrontes Riesling 2024
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaSeeing riesling in a blend – with torrontes, no less – gives the impression of a simple white blend. Well, don't judge a wine by its blend. This shows pure torrontes aromatics – orange blossom and bright lemon balm citrus – with the crisp acidity provided by riesling. Sometimes riesling can overwhelm a blend, but this is still very much torrontes at its core. (And most wineries would just label it as such at 85 percent.) Another winner from the Amalaya label, which continues to deliver excellent value.Tasted: 17 April 2025Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
