Areyna, Valle de Cafayate (Salta, Argentina) Torrontés 2020

May 4, 2022

By Vince Simmon

 This Torrontés is an excellent summer wine choice.  I found tropical fruit and textbook floral notes that jumped from the glass with the support of a mouthwatering acidity.  Torrontés, an Argentinian white varietal, is a natural cross of Muscat of Alexandria and Criolla Chica.  Valle de Cafayate is the closest Argentina has to a “Grand Cru” appellation for Torrontés and this wine, in particular, demonstrates that quality.
