Description
In a nutshell:
A full and opulent Argentinian Torrontés that's one of a kind.
The lowdown:
From Susana Balbo's Signature range this is one of her benchmark wines. Being barrel fermented it contrasts with many other examples of this variety in that the subtle oak influence gives it an extra dimension. The charactersitic exuberant fruity and floral notes are toned down a bit and matched with a luxuriant vanilla creaminess and well balanced crisp acidity.The result is, in some ways, reminiscent of good quality northern Rhône whites and a testament to the many years Susana Balbo has spent perfecting this wine.
The Producer:
Susana Balbo, whose career started back in 1981, is one Argentina's pioneering female winemakers and is renowned throughout the world as an exceptional talent, not only in pure wine-making terms but as a global ambassador for Argentina. Always at the vanguard of change and innovation, Susana is increasingly known for single vineyard wines that speak volumes about their origin. She has been part of the driving force behind the evolution of Argentinian wine towards an emphasis on freshness, elegance and drinkability as opposed to the heavy 'fruit-bomb' wines of old. As a winemaker Susana demonstrates intimate knowledge of and respect for the land and the grapes in all her wines, and her role as the 'Queen of Torrontés' remains undisputed in our view, never standing still but continuously pushing the vinous envelope with this unique varietal. Susana Balbo Barrel Fermented Torrontés is a case in point.
When to drink:
It goes very well with both delicately flavoured fish and seafood dishes, or spicy Indian and Thai cuisine.
