Ahh, Torrontes. Perhaps my favorite white wine. In fact, when I was asked recently if I was stranded on a deserted island and had to pick only one white variety to drink for the rest of my days I ended up deciding on Torrontes. If you think Malbec is the only good thing coming out of Argentina, it’s definitely time to check out this wonderful white grape.
The 2010 Rutini Wines Trumpeter Torrontés begins with a nicely sweet aroma of honeysuckle, melon, peach, pear and floral notes. The wine tastes of orange rind, peach, grapefruit and dried herbs plus some mineral notes. This is a really smooth wine with good crisp acidity. Don’t serve this one too cold to get the best flavors (i.e., if you put it in the refrigerator you probably want to let it sit a bit before serving.) The wine ends dry with some slowly developing zesty grapefruit notes on the long finish that add an interesting contrast.
