2024 Vallisto Torrontes, Bodegas Lavaque, Salta

Torrontes

The Vallisto Torrontes is a fabulous example of this intriguing and highly aromatic white grape.  Made from 70 year old vines grown between 1700 and 2000 metres above sea level, the Vallisto Torrontes shows the distinctive exotic aromas jasmine, orange blossom and peach on the nose with a lively, zippy palate that is dry and fresh with mouth-watering acidity on the finish.  A lovely aperitif if you can handle the aromatics, but even better with food, especially spicier dishes like Thai curries.
