Variety: Torrontes
Region: N/A
Country: Argentina

Shop/wine critic/ winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Amanda/ Yellow colour with greenish nuances. Very intense aroma of fresh grapes, flower perfume and mature peaches. Fresh in the mouth. Light and easy to drink. Ideal with seafood, Thai and Chinese food.
Your review: Yet another white wine that was a lot more pungent and bitter than the previous white wine. It had a very distinct honey smell that I picked out immediately and honestly this was the first wine I could easily pick out this particular smell. It also had small doses of peach scent kinda like women's perfume or lotion. The wine was surprisingly dry and tart. The tart taste of this wine made my face instantly pucker and cringe at the site of the swirling the wine in my mouth. Not my favorite white wine due to the lack of flavors due to the tartness on the palate and overpowering aftertaste.
