Susana Balbo Barrel Ferment Torronts 2022

Susana is known as the Queen of Torronts for her role in transforming Torronts from an unknown blending grape into Argentinas star white varietal.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Torronts from Mendoza, Argentina

Taste profile: Pale gold with bright reflections. On the nose, this wine seduces with hints of white pear, white flowers and ripe peach. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with enticing fruit flavors. Plenty of body for a wine that shows such delicate aromas and flavors. Fruity, floral and yet still quite dry.

Susana Balbo knows how to get the best out of Torronts, having started her distinguished career working with the variety in Salta. This superb example is perfumed and pithy, with stylish new oak fermentation, lemongrass, lime and wet stone flavours and layers of complexity that are rare in the variety. Susanas Signature wines capture her ultimate expression as a winemaker – creating bold wines with artistic finesse that you never get tired of drinking. The wide range of styles in Susanas Signature wines highlight the breadth of winemaking expertise Susana brings to the winery.

Winemaking process: Hand picked, destemmed and cooled at 6 C. Macerated with dry ice per 6 hours, low pressed 100% fermented in new French oak for 4 months.

Susanas winemaking approach is to seamlessly apply her human touch and enhance (not mask) the grapes character, preserving all elements of terroir.
