Gougenheim Torrontes




Name: Gougenheim Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95 (Vintage Cellar)

Winery 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: My favorite white from this tasting. It was very floral and had some really straightforward lemon notes—not other citrus like orange or anything. It was very pleasant and crisp. I got a little peach on the nose with this wine but it was overwhelming floral and lemon. Would drink again.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
