Description
Salta is a tiny region that contributes only a fraction of Argentina's total wine production, but stressing quality over quantity has always been Salta's priority, particularly when it comes to Argentina's signature white grape, Torront�s. This example is from the well-known Catena family, one of the most significant producers in Argentina. You can expect this wine to be crafted in a pretty and easy-to-enjoy style that is characteristically floral and delivers lime citrus tones in a pure and vibrant package.

Tasting Notes
From Salta in north west Argentina, what is so appealing about this well-priced bottling is the salinity and outright humidity it always displays. Torront�s gives so much away aromatically, by way of flowers and the verdigris of mountain ferns. This Catena entry-level wine achieves all of the above and for a song. This Alamos is medicinal, reeks of orchids sweating in a greenhouse and teases with white pepper. It's short and quick but efficient. Excellent value. Tasted January 2014. Score - 88.
