James Suckling 93pt

Aromas of sliced green apples, orange blossoms, pineapple, pears and quince. Bright and crystalline on the palate, with a subtle, delicious texture that's incisive, vibrant and full of character. This is a blend of 38% torrontes, 32% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon, all planted in Altamira and aged in barrels.

Tim Atkin 94pt

Consistently among the best white blends in Argentina, this remains a pioneering, beautifully judged cuvee of Torrontes and 30% each of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Chalky, stony and intense, it's a wine that carries its 40% new wood slightly, showing layers of citrus, kiwi fruit, beeswax and tangerine and a top note of honeysuckle. Effortlessly complex.

Vinous Media 95pt

The 2024 White Blend Brioso is composed of 40% Torrontes, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. Delicate and fragrant, it displays aromas of white flowers, mint and subtle citrus such as pink grapefruit. The palate combines a crisp texture with creamy tension, delivering a delicious, dynamic white.

Wine Spectator 91pt

Floral and fresh herb notes give way to a tropical-focused core of pineapple, dried mango and lychee, while a subtle mineral streak runs through. Finishes clean and vibrant. Torrontes, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

Vinification

Sauvignon Blanc and Semill6n: Destemmed. Macerated in the press with dry ice for 4 hours (before pressing), pressing, fining for 24 hours. The Semill6n was devatted to stainless steel tanks and the Sauvignon Blanc to barrels. Fermented with natural yeasts. Torrontes: Destemmed. No maceration during pressing. Selected yeasts. Fermented in barrels. Once fermentation had finished, the wine was kept on lees for two months to improve the mouthfeel. Final blending and racking to oak barrels for four more months.

Tasting notes

It displays floral and citrus aromas that combine with hints of fresh grass, white fruits and orange. In the mouth, floral, fresh and fruity flavors are in perfect balance with the unctuousness of a successful aging in barrels. Pair with fish, rabbit, Asian food and spicy and hot sauces.
