Finca El Origen Torrontes 2021
Cafayate Valley, Argentina
Wine Details
The best clusters were harvested and pressed to obtain a fine must that was fermented with select yeasts. The wine was later transferred with its lees to develop the creaminess and texture characteristic of this variety. The wine was thinned early on to preserve its natural freshness and fruit expression.
Vineyards/Region
Cafayate is an isolated valley surrounded by mountains in the province of Salta. Given the altitude, it enjoys a unique microclimate that offers the perfect conditions for Torrontés.
Tasting Note
Pale straw yellow with greenish sparks. Intense initial aromas of white flowers, grapes and citrus peel gradually gives way to notes of white tropical fruit like peaches and pineapples. Lees contact makes for a smooth, creamy palate. The wine’s long, pleasant, clean finish is freshened by it’s rich natural acidity.
Food Pairing
Pair with barbeque roasts, fresh pasta and hard cheeses.
