Torrontés

Images for Torrontés

Torrontés is a white grape variety grown primarily in Argentina, known for producing aromatic and floral wines with a unique character.

Torrontés is the signature white grape of Argentina and is often compared to Muscat and Gewürztraminer due to its expressive aromas and flavours.


Torrontés typically has a fragrant bouquet of floral and citrus aromas, such as jasmine, roses, and orange blossom, with some varieties displaying a hint of spice.

On the palate, Torrontés can have a range of flavours, from ripe tropical fruits to stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, with a lively acidity and a crisp, refreshing texture.


Torrontés is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood, spicy cuisine, and light salads. The wine's floral and citrus character makes it a perfect match for dishes with fresh herbs and citrus-based sauces. Torrontés can be enjoyed young, with a bright and refreshing character, or aged for a few years, developing a richer, more complex flavour profile.

Argentinean Torrontés wines are considered the best and most expressive, with some of the finest examples coming from the regions of Salta and Mendoza.
