2018 Torrontés
Old Quarter
Argentina
Taste the first fruits of 2018 in the 90 Point, Gold medal-winning Old Quarter Torrontés
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Old Quarter
Torrontés
Every year we get excited to try the new wines from the Southern hemisphere. While vines across the United States and Europe are just waking up after a dormant winter, the farmers of South America are preparing for harvest. This means that now, we are getting to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Torrontés has an incomparable flavor and is produced almost exclusively in Argentina. The Old Quarter is a fantastic take on this new world favorite, with strong notes of white flowers, jasmine, and tropical fruit that are balanced out by a notable minerality. The finish is elegant and lingering and makes it an excellent match for spicy Asian foods. We’ve been loving it with coconut curries, teriyaki, and pad thai. Judges love it too! They gave it 90 Points and a Gold medal at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge!

WINE REGION:
Argentina
Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.

TASTING NOTES:
White Flowers
Tropical Fruit
Mineral
This wine has a beautiful floral bouquet with floating notes of white flowers and jasmine. The tastes of tropical fruit shine through the floral nose and are balanced by a notable minerality. We have loved the lingering and elegant finish and think this makes an excellent match with spicy Asian foods.
