Ramírez de Velazco Torrontes 2007Explosively aromatic Torrontés … Argentina's trump card white in all its racy, fragrant glory!
Having claimed Torrontes as its own, Argentina has not rested on its laurels. It is gradually turning this little known grape into a sought-after household name. This is thanks in no small part to the country's rapidly improving winemaking expertise and massive investment in its wineries. Increasingly, Argentina is the place to look for "good value wines with unique flavours" (Drinks Business).
Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, the vineyards for Ramirez de Velazco Torrontes lie in the La Rioja region, which enjoys warm days and cool, dry nights ... with plenty of melt water available for irrigation, the conditions are near ideal for the vines and shows through in the intense, pure fruit flavours.
The fresh and lively 2007 vintage offers plenty of distinct rose and citrus aromas, apple, melon and a hint of spiciness. Dry and crisp, it is wonderful served slightly chilled with salads, fish and poultry.
Customer Reviews for Ramírez de Velazco Torrontes
Mrs SPC Figg, Berkshire
"We loved this wine. Fragrant and full of bright lychee, the wine was still dry and accompanied our sea bass nicely. By the end of the bottle, my husband called it very 'drinky' and we wished we could open another bottle but restrained ourselves so we could treat ourselves another day."
Mr A Moloney, Mid Glamorgan
"Absolutely delightful. Clear, clean, crisp with a slight tang (banana?!) that just sparkles in the glass. A bargain at the price. A great new discovery - thank you!"
