Torrontes, Argentina’s flagship white variety, reaches its zenith in the high Andean valleys of Cafayate. The vines here struggle with high winds, drought, and the vagaries of weather that come with planting at up to 2000M above seal level. The region is very limited in its production because water is so scarce, and the Torrontes vines here make some of the most exciting white wine in the world. The characteristic of Torrontes de Cafayate is its piercing aromatics of pear, apple, exotic floral, and minerality. The wines tend to be brighter and fresher than their counterparts from lower altitude sites. Deneza winery of Mendoza sends their winemaker to the North at harvest to produce a mere 600 cs of this delightful and exotic wine.
