2010 Crios Torrontes (Argentina)

2010 Crios Torrontes, 100% torrontes grapes AKA the white wine of Argentina.The first smell is very perfumed and floral, we had this wine once before and remembered that we liked it so we purchased another bottle. I had alomost forgotten the bright citrus floral smell that plays with your senses.

It may not be what you expect when you taste, a bit like viognier and Savigion Blanc but perhaps a tad more delicate on the palate. Juicy and bright with hints of peach, white flower and pear with a long fruity finish and the smell is amazing!
I think this wine would pair excellent with mild to medium cheeses and seafood.


 
Crios Vineyard story:  
In a country dominated by male winemakers, Susana Balbo stands out not only for her gender, but for her incredible skill and experience. She has been making wine since she earned her enology degree in 1981, and she has probably produced a wider variety of wines than any other winemaker in Argentina. Susana was the first Argentine winemaker to be hired as a consultant to make wine outside of Argentina. She has made wine in Australia, California, Chile, France, Italy, South Africa, and Spain, and she spends a month each year in a different wine region of the world studying with local winemakers and growers.

After twenty years of producing wines for others, Susana decided it was time to apply her education and experience to her own wines and put her name right on the bottle. Susana strives for balance in her wines, with layers of complexity coming from the individually fermented varietals. She wants people who drink her wines to feel that every sip from the glass is as exciting as the first.
