With dinner tonight I am offering a Torrontes, the white wine from Argentina. Phebus torrontes to be exact. Now, a little information about torrontes. Most people have never even heard of torrontes much less tried it. There are three distinct types of torrontes; riojano, sanjuanino, mendocino. The wine can be highly acidic if not handled by an expert wine maker. It can produce many flavors usually tree fruit such as peach and pear. It is very similar to muscat.
The Phebus Torrontes from the Bodega Fabre Montmayou, This wine will not break the bank usually found under 10 dollars. And well worth picking up several bottles. the distinct golden color is remarkable. It is highly aromatic with strong notes of citrus, lemon, lime. The taste is very fruity, peach is detected here also. Crisp and dry. The mouth is perfectly balanced. A lingering but not long finish. Easy to offer with chicken or seafood. Just an enjoyable wine to serve.
Enjoy
