Product Notes

Amalaya Blanco de Corte Torrontés/Riesling is an alluring, aromatic white blend from Salta, Argentina's high-altitude vineyards. It elegantly combines the intense floral notes of Torrontés with Riesling's sharp acidity, resulting in an expressive, exotic and refreshing wine. On the palate, it delivers a symphony of lush tropical fruits, delicate florals, and a tangy citrus kick. It's a captivating chorus of flavours accompanied by a crisp, dry finish. This wine is not just compelling, but also ethically produced, reflecting Amalaya’s commitment to sustainability. Perfect for those seeking an adventure in every glass.

Tasting Notes

Intense gold in colour with hints of green. On the nose this wine is intense and complex with aromas of citrus and green apple, which is typical of Torrontes. Delicate and silky on the palate, with great freshness and crisp acidity on the distinctly mineral finish.
