First time tasting a torrontés based wine. Absolutely over the top flavour! It has minerality, citrus (grapefruit), stonefruit (barely ripe yellow plum), a whisper of effervescence. Followed by a waxy, green herbaceous, zesty lime, subtle tannic drying finish that is excellent.
Really a little bit of everything. Can't say I've had a wine with so many components happening at once.
