Amalaya Torrontés Riesling (75cl, 12.5%)

An Argentine white wine from the Calchaquí Valley, blending 85% Torrontés with 15% Riesling. Grown at about 1,800 metres above sea level, it is fermented slowly at low temperatures and aged for three months in stainless steel tanks, then two months in bottle. The nose shows lemon blossom, white flower, grapefruit peel, anise, dried mango, lemongrass and ginger. The palate is delicate and silky, with sour lemon, grapefruit, sweeter lime and melon, a lightly waxy texture and fluid citrus acidity. The finish is crisp and mineral, with grapefruit zest and a saline quality.
