Susana Balbo Signature Barrel Fermented Torrentés 2024, Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina: Typically, Torrontés doesn’t undergo barrel fermentation and aging due to the wine's characteristics, but when done with care, as seen here, the result is a wine of depth and intrigue. This version maintains its floral elegance, with nuanced tropical fruit, citrus, as well as a mineral edge, complemented by the subtle spiciness of a judicious use of oak. Enjoy it through 2030 with some grilled shrimp or a zesty Indian curry. Torrentés food pairings: grilled shrimp, Indian curry dishes, pad Thai.
