Andeluna Torrontes Mendoza 2006
Baby Got Torrontes

Malbec is Argentina’s red wine star, but now Argentina is showcasing a white grape — Torrontes. (It sounds cooler if you roll the Rs.) This fresh, balanced white entices with aromas of peach, citrus, white flowers, and tropical fruits. Its lively palate echoes the aromas with a medium body and dry fruit flavors. Andeluna’s grapes come from the gorgeous Andean vineyards owned and cultivated by the Italian-Argentine Rutini family of Mendoza.
