Description

Susana Balbo’s Signature Barrel Fermented Torrontés is an innovative take on Argentina’s native Torrontés grape. Grown at roughly 1,150 m in Paraje Altamira in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, the grapes are hand-harvested, cooled to about 6 °C, destemmed, and macerated with dry ice before pressing. The wine is fermented and aged for four to six months in new (and sometimes used) French oak barrels, with weekly bâtonnage to build texture and complexity. The result is Torrontés elevated beyond its usual floral signature into something more structured and layered.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Pale golden with bright, crystalline reflections

NOSE:
Intensely aromatic—tropical and stone fruits such as lychee, peach, and grapefruit, combined with citrus peel (lemon or tangerine) and delicate floral (orange blossom, honeysuckle) aromas. Subtle wet stone or chalky mineral hints add depth.

TASTE:
Balanced acidity and a saline-mineral streak anchor the fruit flavors. The texture is round and silky, with a creamy richness from oak integration. You’ll find layers of peach, apricot, and exotic fruits underpinned by spice, herbs, and sometimes vanilla or hazelnut nuance from barrel aging.

FINISH:
Crisp, fresh, and lingering—stone fruit and tropical notes resurface on a clean, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing

This sophisticated Torrontés shines with:

Seafood: Grilled prawns, ceviche (salmon-clementine or citrus-spiced), shellfish, sushi.

Spicy & aromatic cuisines: Indian curries, Thai, Chinese, and Southeast Asian dishes (think lemongrass, chili, fish sauce, herbs).

Salads & starters: Green papaya salad, cucumber–mango salsa, grilled nectarine & burrata salad, or Asian-fusion appetizers.

Its acidity and texture also complement tropical fruit salsas and herbal elements like cilantro or five‑spice garnish nicely.

For cheese fans: pair with aged Manchego or Parmesan for a contrasting nutty, savory finish.
