The 2023 Torrontes Signature is sourced from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley and was fermented and aged in barrels. Yellow in hue, it presents aromas of basil, bay leaf, white fruit and a touch of jasmine. The palate is austere, featuring a smooth, creamy expression balanced by high acidity. With a touch of malic acid, it offers a delicious, crisp profile achieved in a warm year.
