RIESLING TORRONTES, AMALAYA

A bold and aromatic white blend from Salta in the North of Argentina.

Amalaya’s vineyards are in the Calchaquí Valley which is the highest wine region in the world, and one of the most remote. Torrontés, Argentina’s leading white grape, makes up around 85% of this blend with the remainder being Riesling. Together they provide brilliantly intense peach, elderflower, lychee and rosewater aromas that lead on to a soft, rich and flavoursome palate freshened up by clean, mouth watering acidity. And while delicate and silky in the mouth it rounds off with a flinty mineral edge and long fruit filled finish.

Racy, fresh and nicely structured it’s just the thing to have with seafood dishes like seared squid.
