Crios Torrontés 2020, Susana Balbo, Mendoza

Susana Balbo’s ever-reliable Torrontés is sourced from Cafayate and the Uco Valley and is a lovely expression of the grape. Aromatic, grapey and fresh, with notes of pear and stone fruit and a fresh, sappy finish. A really good introduction to Argentina’s near native white grape.

Regarded as one of Argentina’s greatest winemakers, Susana Balbo has over 50 vintages to her name, with 30 of them produced in Argentina. As the first female winemaker in Argentina, she holds a special place in the country’s winemaking history, having also been the first Argentinian to be paid for consulting services to an international winery. Family holds great significance for Susana, and she takes pride in the prominent roles played by her children Ana and José in Susana Balbo wines today.
