Colome' Estate Valla Calchaqui, Salta, Argentina, High Altitude 2023 Torrontés, $12.69-$14.99, 89 points, was a light yellow/gold color with a thin clear meniscus.
Aromas of lemon juice dominated the grassy notes and a subtle Clemetine peel.
This Torrontés white wine was light to medium-bodied with good acidity and good flavors reflective of the aromas with excellent ginger notes late palate and finish.
The finish was fair on the that ginger, a tad tart, continued with lemongrass, and a well-balanced 13% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my battered baked haddock.
This was an excellent Q/P/R wine, and a recommended buy, but keep in mind this is a white wine best had young, which I consider to be one to three years.
