Tasting - Gougenheim Torrontes



Name:  Gougenheim Torrontes
Variety:  Torrontes
Year:  2012
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Price:  $8.95

Review:  "The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now."

My Review:  On the nose, this wine was sweet and had nectarine and orange floral aromas.  It was surprisingly tart on the palate, with an orange citrus finish.
