The 2024 Susana Balbo Crios Torrontés is a vibrant and aromatic white wine that captures the essence of Argentina's signature white grape. Crafted by Susana Balbo, a pioneer in Torrontés winemaking, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of the Torrontés grape. This Torrontés presents a pale yellow hue with greenish reflections, leading into an aromatic profile of citrus fruits, passion fruit, lychee, and white flowers. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity and a hint of creaminess that adds depth. The finish is clean and mineral, leaving a lasting impression of freshness.
Aged on its lees for three months, this wine maintains its aromatic intensity and balance.
The varietal 2022 Crios Torrontés was produced with a 50/50 blend of juice from Cafayate in Salta and Paraje Altamira in Valle de Uco, fermented in their respective regions and then assembled in her winery in Mendoza. It has typicity, notes of orange blossom and other white flowers, but also a citrus side; it's crisp and aromatic with 13% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity that makes it easy to drink and refreshing, with a mellow mouthfeel. 325,000 bottles produced and bottled throughout the year from a single master blend.
