Mendoza Torrontes is distinctly different than examples coming from Salta and Cafayete — it’s much more in the citrus zone, while still delivering the characteristic full throttle floral aroma profile. The addition of 15% Pinot Grigio in this bottling tips things even more into lemon land, and it really works well here. A solid summertime solo glass of white that’s a great value.
