Grape Varieties
Torrontés
Torrontés is the emblematic white grape of Argentina, thriving in high-altitude vineyards of Salta, La Rioja Province, and Mendoza. It produces highly aromatic wines with enchanting notes of rose, jasmine, and stone fruit balanced by bright acidity. Though intensely perfumed, Torrontés remains dry and refreshing, offering a unique balance between Muscat-like aromatics and the crispness of mountain-grown whites. Its charm lies in its ability to be both exuberant and elegant.
