Tasting Notes: This wine shows the typical pale golden color, characteristic of the wine variety. Floral and fresh aromas, resembling honeysuckle, roses, lemon and grapefruite. Apricot and other citric notes are present in this Torrontes. In the mouth, this wine is intense and well balanced, with an attractive final acidity, which makes it even fresher. Complex and powerful, this is a stylish version of the
