Viñalba, Selección, Torrontés, 2018, Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina

This Torrontes from Vinabla, Lujan de Cuyo in Argentina is a text book Torrontes and that is not a bad thing, dry and bold but with masses of fruit that balances it all. Wth smells of tropical fruit and blossom, there’s lots of flavours in there too, pineapple, mango, melon and peach which went very well with a chicken biryani with vegi curry.

At £9 a bottle its spot on the money and taste.

Argentina desert wine can be extremely delish. Salta in the north is the  the home Torrontes and this is a fine example of what is produced by a first class outfit. There are aromas of peach, melon and honey. The same comes through in the taste although more melon and honey.

Personally I prefer it on its own, just lovely.
