Grape

Torrontés

Origin
Many see Torrontés as the Argentine white variety with the greatest potential. It is characterful with a light body and high acidity. These acidity levels make it ideally suited to the arid growing conditions of Argentina.
Taste
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. Fruity, floral and yet still quite dry.
Enjoy
This wine makes a wonderful apéritif but can also be enjoyed with seafood, smoked meats and medium to strong-flavoured cheeses.

    Delicious

    Great wine. Very tasty and good as an aperitif but also holds up very well with spicy food.

    Only pleasant

    This wine was somewhat disappointing and I would favour a vigonier anytime. There are a lot better whites at this price with more body and flavour.

    A white that converted me

    I'm not usually a white person and this was recommended to us by our local Majestic for a party. What a find! Light and refreshing with a great nose, with with depth of taste and complexity. Recommeded.

    Do Crios for me Argentina

    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.

Staff Reviews

  • Delicious Torrontes

    "This Argentinian Torrentos is a treat at every sip! With delicious full peach flavours alongside floral aromas it is perfectly balanced and a delight. A tastier new world Viogner - love it!"

Press Reviews

  • "Tasted this week and totally blown away by the lively spice and rose-petal aromas, backed by clear, dry weight fruit. Drink with a rosemary-spiked roast chicken."

  • "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."
