Torrontes is a white wine grape variety that is primarily grown in Argentina. It is believed to have originated from the Galicia region in Spain and was brought to Argentina by Spanish immigrants in the 19th century. The grape thrives in the high-altitude regions of Argentina, where the cool nights and warm days contribute to its unique flavour profile.
The taste profile of Torrontes wine is often described as aromatic and floral. It has intense aromas of rose petals, jasmine, and citrus fruits, which lend it a distinct and exotic character. On the palate, Torrontes wines typically exhibit crisp acidity, with flavours of ripe peaches, apricots, and tropical fruits. The wine has a medium body and a refreshing finish, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy vibrant and aromatic white wines.
The best areas for growing Torrontes grapes in Argentina are the provinces of Salta and La Rioja. These regions are located in the northwest of the country, where the vineyards benefit from the high altitude and cool climate.
