Kaiken Terroir Series Cafayate Torrontes
Country: Argentina Region: Lujan de Cuya, Mendoza
Varietal: 100% Torrontes Vintage: 2022
Colour: White Style: Dry
Producer: Aurelio Montes Baseden
Description:
Chile and Argentina. In the same way, Montes, the Chilean winery, crossed the Andes to set up in Mendoza. Their vineyards are situated in the heart of Mendoza and further to the south in Valle de Uco, where many of the premium producers are now sourcing their fruit. The focus is primarily on Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, a variety that has been somewhat forgotten as Malbec has surfed one wave of success after another in the past decade. As a result, there are many old vineyards in Mendoza that produce excellent fruit. Kaiken's own vineyards supply 70% of their production requirements and 30% is from vineyards that they control.
Tasting Note:
This Torrontes has a brilliant lemon-green colour with golden tones. The intensely aromatic nose is full of fresh peaches and orange peel, accompanied by the floral notes that are very characteristic of this variety. The fruity notes reappear on the fresh palate with balanced acidity.
Food Matches: Foie Gras / Oriental / Spicy / Chinese
