Tasting- "Gougenheim- Torrontes"

Variety: Torrontes
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95

Vintage Cellar Review: The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now.

My Review: The nose for this wine reminded me strongly of lemon and flowers. It had a bit of a spiciness to it upon tasting with many similarities to other white wines as well.
