Condor Peak Catarmarca Torrontes Sauvignon Blanc 2012
- Aromatic Torrontes + zesty Sauvignon = an absolute hit!
- Racy, exciting, super-refreshing.
- The ideal foil for spicy food.
The lovely Catamarca region, in North-Western Argentina, provides the fruit for this stunningly refreshing white. Torrontes is not a well-known variety, not least because Argentina's just about the only place where it grows in any quantity. It's a great discovery though, with its bracing acidity, pungent fruitiness and subtle, perfumed spice make it a taste experience to savour. Blended here with a touch of gooseberry-edged Sauvignon Blanc, this should be a fitting favourite in any self-respecting fridge.
