Bodega Colome Torrontes 2007

The most popular white wine from Argentina, the Torrontes grape is a cross of Muscat of Alexandria and the Mission Grape of Galacia. Grown on the traditional Parral System, Colomé Torrontes is highly distinctive with its muscat character - always refreshing, never cloying. The wine exhibits a high fruit nose with muscat and tropical notes that lead to a rich mid-palate and clean, crisp finish. Serve lightly chilled.

The color is a brilliant, deep yellow, very typical of Torrontés. The aroma is fresh and clean, with orange blossom, jasmine and honeysuckle prominent. Tropical flavors follow including guava and mango, with citrus and apricot notes. The palate is round, succulent and coating, with a crisp and refreshing finish. While making a very forward and floral aromatic statement, this wine is well balanced and highly nuanced with a myriad of more subtle flavors that open with airing in the glass over the course of a meal. This wine pairs well with seafood, shellfish, Japanese, Thai, and other Asian fusion dishes.
