Produced by husband and wife team, Pedro Marchevsky and Susana Balbo, Argentina's most highly acclaimed female winemaker and the first Argentinean oenologist to be consulted by a European winery, this wine demonstrates the highest quality of Argentina's classic white grape variety, Torrontes. Viognier-like aromas of ripe, juicy peaches and blossom develop on the palate, which is surprisingly full-bodied and crisp for a wine with such delicate aromas.

"Fragrant and floral wine with a clean, pure and brisk aromatic lift. Lemony with aromatic complexity and some good zing in the tail. £6.99 when you buy two bottles and well worth seeking out to taste something a bit different and uniquely Argentinian. Score: 89/100 "

"This voluptuous aromatic wine comes from vineyards 150m higher than Ben Nevis, which in Salta in northern Argentina is not above the snow line. The altitude provides respite from the sub-tropical heat. Despite its sweet exotic fragrance, Crios is quite dry and complex. It would be delicious with crab."

    My branch was out of stock of the cheaper torrontes that I had ordered and I was given a free upgrade to this. Wow ! Complex, great nose, and an absolute delight.

    An unusual aromatic white that is fruity and full bodied. Excellent with fish or oriental food and one we always buy when on offer at Majestics bargain price.
