Michel Torino CUMA Torrentes 2007

kennuncorked Tasting Notes

Production Practices:
Made with "Agencert  Certified" Organic Grapes.

Appearance:
With the glass tilted, the wine is clear and transparent. The core is a very pale gold color that seems consistent to the rim.

Nose/Aromas:
Clean with light to medium intensity of peach, papaya, and tangerine.

Palate:
Dry, medium bodied with no tannin and mouth-watering acidity. The fruit characteristics seem to a tropical fruit cocktail of peach, papaya, tangerine, and pineapple.  There is no perception of alcohol (the alcohol level = 13.5%) indicating the alcohol in well integrated into the wine and all the components are in balance.

Finish/Length:
Clean with a long finish.

Cost:
Approximate retail price: US$11.00.

Producers Notes:

Cafayate has become a top area for the production of Torrontes as its soil and climate conditions enhance this grape's varietal character. Intense perfumed aromas of tropical fruits with some floral hints of roses. Elegant and complex wine with a rich, mellow, and fruity taste.
