World Wine 2005 Fundacion de Mendoza Torrontes

Mendoza, Argentina Fundacion de Mendoza Torrontes is our latest white wine discovery from Argentina and it is ideal for summertime. Fundacion de Mendoza calls this Torrontes the "emblematic white wine of Argentina." The Wall Street Journal wine column recently cited this virtually unknown white varietal as an up-and-coming star. We are delighted to have discovered this one. Estate-bottled. Fundacion de Mendoza Torrontes is yellow-green in color with an aromatic nose of citrus, apples, minerals and smoke. Medium-bodied with bright acidity, this white offers flavors of apple, lemon, hazelnut and mineral notes, with no oak. This is an elegant food-friendly wine beautifully balanced to enjoy now. It offers a refreshing citrus-toned finish. Enjoy Fundacion de Mendoza Torrontes as the perfect summertime aperitif or pair it with grilled shrimp, crab cakes, roast chicken, Cobb salad and cheeses.
