Wine of week: Viñalba Selección Torrontés 2009

20 July 2010

Neil Sowerby The best examples of Torrontés around are still to be found on the wine list of the Gaucho upmarket steakhouse chain, but this ultra-floral aromatic Argentine white is slowly making its presence felt on supermarket shelves. Viñalba Selección Torrontés 2009 is a fine example, after a smoky nose, bursting with pineapple and peach flavours, while showing surprising elegance. Good on its own but also a fine match for ceviches (citrus-marinated shellfish dishes) or gravadalax.


Sainsbury’s selected stores, £7.99.
