This Torrontes wine comes from the Bodega Norton Winery in Mendoz, Argentina. This particular wine was the 2011 vintage. The Torrontes variety is made out of the grape it is named after. The shop's notes on this one describe it as having strong aromas of peach, rose petals and jasmine. My first smell made me think of summer and had strong sweet scents right away. It definitely smelled flowery, it was very aromatic. It had a slightly pungent smell as it faded, like slightly overripe fruit, in my opinion. It tasted less sweet than I thought it was going to as well, and I didn't notice any jasmine in it, which is a pretty distinct taste and smell. Thoroughly enjoyed this one as well, would love to try it with food sometime. This bottle was $5.95 at the Vintage Cellar.
