Gorgeous blend of chardonnay and torrontes: the first contributes the richness, toast and hazelnut aromas; the second gives a floral lift. Lovely. Amazingly great price.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Holly Bruns rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Ripe tree fruit, like apple and peach on the nose with some jasmine and nutmeg notes that get enlivened with a little minerality and citrus. A pleasant round feeling on the palate with a spicy, tingly finish. This white is on the rich side and would make a great afternoon sipping wine.

Darlene Myers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This wine is complex with bursts of citrus flavour and a hint of spice. Some peach notes with good acidity. I look forward to having this wine again.

sit. sip. savour. rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

aromas of sweet ripe fruit, floral, mineral & spice (reminding me of ginger ale, oddly enough). the medium plus finish replays aromas in this smooth-textured friulano.

François Lurton was delighted to discover the virtues of the old-vine Friulano grown in Mendoza. Here he blends this northern Italian variety with small amounts of Chardonnay and Torrontés to make a full-bodied, aromatic wine with nutty notes on the nose and palate. Layered and balanced with a crisp, lengthy finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
