A tangle of lychee, orange blossom, ripe peach, and tangerine aromas rushes up from this intensely aromatic white that hails from Salta - Argentina's northernmost winegrowing region. Bright and gutsy, this Torrontes is packed with ripe canteloupe, honeydew, and mango flavors that linger through to a long, lemony finish.
