Character & context
Understanding Torrontés
Argentina's Torrontés wines are known for an aromatic profile that can suggest Muscat-like sweetness while the palate remains dry. Torrontés Riojano is a key variety behind that reputation. High-altitude Salta is an important reference point. Look for fresh flavour beneath the perfume and a finish with controlled bitterness.
