TASTING NOTE: A bright and energetic torrontés featuring notes of apple blossom and white grape, tender rose and grapefruit. Expressive but not over the top. The Saltese origin of these grapes is evident with a salty minerality and a tense restraint. Easy to appreciate but not pandering. Score - 88 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, March 10, 2017) |
