The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree, Torrontés
a rosy Andean apple on our anniversary
The rose-scented Torrontés is Argentina’s signature white grape, and this one comes from the famed Uco Valley high in the Andes. Made by young Matías Riccitelli, its unusual name acknowledges that he is following in his father’s footsteps: Jorge Riccitelli is the most famous winemaker in Argentina, having crafted wines at Bodega Norton for 25 years. We’re giving this rose-y apple to ourselves as a present for our own anniversary – Decanting Club is one year old this week!
Most Torrontés should be served quite cold, but this is a classy example that shouldn’t be chilled too much: 8°C to 10°C.
Despite its astonishing floral nose, this unoaked white is notably clean and refreshing. It makes a good aperitif, or you could pair it with oriental food like crispy fish in sweet and sour sauce.
