Tasting Notes
The 2025 Torrontes exhibits aromas of citrus zest, Lychee, tropical fruit and peach blossom, with a floral finish. Pairs best with fish and Asian cuisineWinemaker Notes
Torrontes is a very interesting, rare grape type. A cross created by Argentinean Monks, crossing Muscat Canelli and Creola (a mission grape variety), it expresses a flavor profile only slightly reminiscent of its parent Muscat, and nothing of creola. Our Torrontes has the bright crispness and citrus of a Sauvignon Blanc, with the floral and tropical notes of Muscat. When one tastes Argentinean Torrontes, you will often see alcohols in the 14-15% range, low acidity and noticeable residual sugar. This is because they ripen the grapes to high sugar levels in order to emphasize the sweet notes of tropical fruits and flowers, aiming for a style similar to off-dry Muscat wines. At Wise Villa we choose to balance Torrontes by picking at much lower sugar levels, achieving a flavor profile and alcohol levels more in line with sparkling winemaking. We then ferment the wine cold and slow in stainless steel, to keep it aromatic, crisp and fresh.Wine Profile
