Nice dry PG from Argentina. Mineral nose with hints of Peach and some flowers. On the palate nice acidity with a medium long finish. In a way remotely comparable to a NZ sauvignon blanc.

Apparently this wine comes from high altitude vineyards, which has a certain impact on the floral tones as well as the minerality. On the nose fresh and fruity, with some acidity to it. On the taste it is fresh and crisp, with some green apple tones and citrus, as well as some riper fruit as peach, pear and riper apple. It has a good balance between the acidity and not to much sweetness to it. Overall a very enjoyable white, which I rate 3.7 stars!
