Torrontés is an umbrella term that covers several distinct grape varieties, all of which are quite similar and most of the time are not listed in further detail by Argentinian wineries. This wine is both floral and tropical with star fruit, white blossoms, and melons leading the way. Torrontés is a great choice for a calm and relaxing weekend-afternoon white but can pair with a lighter dish, like grilled or roast chicken. Phebus is the creation of Hervé J. Fabre, who moved to Argentina from Bordeaux to seek out excellent Malbec vineyards. It’s no shock he found excellent Torrontés vineyards on his journey.
