WINERY NOTES - "Though originally from France, the Malbec grape has found its home in Argentina, excelling in the country's warm, dry climate. The Read More...
sandy and alluvial soils of our Malbec vineyards (Finca Colome and Finca El Arenal) yield small crops which produce deeply colored and concentrated wines capturing the essence of this distinct terroir. They have brought us worldwide recognition in the form of numerous awards and much press coverage. Aromas of black and red fruits (blackberries and black currants, raspberries and cherries) and the floral scent of violets abound in the complex nose, with hints of spices and minerals. In the mouth, it is fruity and fresh with a succulent and muscular structure of round velvety tannins. Its finish is fine, delicate and yet very long."

First of all, we are smitten with Torrontes and this has all the right ingredients: an exciting producer, very high altitude vineyards, yummy flavors, and a great price. Founder José Read More...
Manuel Ortega Gil-Fournier left a career in banking in 2000 and started over in the wine business with estate vineyards in Argentina and his native Spain. He is a dynamic speaker and a passionate advocate of cooler climates-we wanted to love his wines and when we tasted through the O Fournier line-up the quality was impossible to deny. There are many great things to come from this producer. The "Urban" Torrontes shows its cool climate credentials with fruit from Cafayate in the northern province of Salta-at 5,700 feet these vineyards are among the highest in the world, providing extra perfume and layers. Look for tangerine and nectarine fruit up front with Asian spice, and a clean mineral snap to the finish. Stylish and sophisticated, for sure, but also fun enough to just drink by the pool.
