Old Quarter 2021 Torrontés Mendoza, Argentina

The new vintage of our 92 point Torrontés once again invites you to share in the rich history of Argentinian winemaking. This aromatic white offers aromas of exotic citrus and tropical fruit followed by a fruit-forward palate bursting with flavor. While Malbec is considered king in Argentina’s vineyards, Torrontés is its light-skinned counterpart as the country’s most planted white grape. This flavorful variety is native to Argentina, thriving in Mendoza’s famously high-altitude vineyards, where hot days and cool nights encourage the wine’s intense fruit flavors and crisp acidic texture to shine. Throughout history, wine has brought people together, uniting communities and creating a shared sense of pride in one’s history and culture. Torrontés is beloved by locals and tourists alike, who enjoy it alongside fried empanadas and grilled local cheeses, shared with friends old and new.
