About This Wine


Old Quarter

Torrontés

Every year we get excited to try the new wines from the Southern hemisphere. While vines across the United States and Europe are just waking up after a dormant winter, the farmers of South America are preparing for harvest. This means that now, we are getting to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Torrontés has an incomparable flavor and is produced almost exclusively in Argentina. The Old Quarter is a fantastic take on this new world favorite, with strong notes of white flowers, jasmine, and tropical fruit that are balanced out by a notable minerality. The finish is elegant and lingering and makes it an excellent match for spicy Asian foods. We’ve been loving it with coconut curries, teriyaki, and pad thai. Judges love it too! They gave it 90 Points and a Gold medal at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge!

Wine Region


Argentina

Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.
