TASTING NOTE: The El Porvenir winery has become a benchmark producer of high-altitude Torrontes, and this is a bright and aromatic declaration of their skill with the grape. Rich, floral and fruit-driven with good length and flavours of peach pit, apricot and sweet citrus and crisp acidity. (Vintages panel, April 2016) |
