Bodega Colome Torrontes

Wine Spectator, December 2007
Rating: 88 points

"Fresh and floral, with light lime and mineral notes checking in as well. Very elegant, but still shows more definition than most Torrontés..."

"Torrontés is the signature white wine from Argentina. It dates from the first vineyards planted in the county from the early 1800’s. Its origin has been the subject of much speculation for the last 100 years. One prevailing theory suggested it was a raisin variety brought by the Spanish Conquistadors, but in 2004 an Argentine graduate student determined the parents using DNA analysis: it was a cross between the “Mission” wine
grapes of Galicia and Muscat of Alexandria. Today, the variety enjoys high popularity with vineyards, wineries and consumers in Argentina and is beginning to be exported internationally, with good reason. It makes a light, clear, refreshing white wine with Muscat tones redolent of jasmine and orange blossoms. It is excellent as an aperitif, summer wine, or with light first courses."

WINEMAKER COMMENTS
The color is a brilliant, yellow gold, typical of Torrontés. The aroma is fresh, with flowery notes of honeysuckle and roses, with nuances of lemon and orange. Apricots with citrus flavors follows, revealing a rich mid-palate. This is a well balanced wine, with intense flavors and a crisp finish.
