Tasting - "Gougenheim Torrontes"

NameGougenheim Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes
Region: N/A
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95


Winery Review: "
The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now."
The Vintage Cellar

My Review: The smell of this wine was very floral and sour, like lemons or even some lime. Very mellow sweetness to the nose, so not overly sweet, but rather just a subtle scent.  The taste was very tart, crisp, and finished with a subtle sour taste in the back of the tongue. It was a nice bottle of wine, but not one that I'd buy for myself.
