2009 Inacayal, Torrontés, Argentina

Light and bright and aromatic... a must have for any summer get together.
Kacher writes: "Inacayal’s vineyards are located in Tupuntago near Mendoza, Argentina and benefit from a temperature amplitude and an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level, which both play an important role in the ripeness of the grapes, allowing natural acidity and fruit retention as they reach full maturity. Yield is kept very low and hand harvested at the beginning of March. Torrontés is the main varietal used in Argentine white wine. This particular wine stays in tank for 2 months. Of a bright pale yellow color with greenish hues, it displays an aromatic, herbal nose with a touch of lemon, peach and flowers. The palate reveals ripe melon and delicate floral notes along with a vibrant acidity. This wine is exotic, full of freshness, and shows a lovely crispy finish. Our Torrontés is ideal when served with spicy Thai food, Chinese and seafood dishes; or simply as an apéritif."
