This is what good wine from the Torrontés grape tastes like

Torrontés produces spicy white wines with a recognizable aroma of rose petals, blossom and tropical fruit. No wonder, since it is a descendant of Muscat. Usually not sweet, but lively and fresh instead. To be drunk young, ideally as an apéritif.

Torrontés probably originates from Galicia in northern Spain, where it still grows today. But it achieved its international breakthrough in Argentina. Argentinians can't get enough of its lightly aromatic, spicy juice and have adopted it as their national white grape. In Portugal, a (further mutated) Torrontés grows under the names Maria Gomes and Fernão Pires.

The Uruguayans are also crazy about it - literally, since it is planted on a fair scale in the neighboring country too. Over time, the South American Torrontés has mutated so often that it genetically barely resembles its original Spanish ancestor. No need to mourn, though, since the wine tastes no worse for it.
