Tasting-Gouguenheim Variety: Torrontes (white)-

Name: Gouguenheim
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Chilecito in La Rioja
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95

Shop/wine critic/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: It smells very mildly of lemon, there really isn’t much of an aroma at all coming from this one. There’s an acidy fruit first and a spice finish that sticks around quite some time. Not much complexity or fruit involved.

CONCLUSION: Would not drink again.


Not tasted with food
