Susana Balbo Barrel Fermented Torrontés 2024
Vintage Character
The 2024 vintage of Susana Balbo Barrel Fermented Torrontés from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, exemplifies the vibrant character of the Torrontés grape. Benefiting from a mild growing season marked by cool nights and warm days, the grapes achieved slow, even ripening, resulting in a wine with heightened aromatic expression and freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This white wine reveals an enticing bouquet of jasmine, orange blossom, and ripe peach, complemented by subtle vanilla and gentle spice notes imparted through barrel fermentation. Medium-bodied and elegantly textured, it balances floral intensity with refreshing acidity and a creamy mouthfeel, leading to a long, nuanced finish that echoes citrus zest and a delicate touch of oak. Its aromatic complexity and structure make it an excellent match for goat cheese, grilled prawns, or Cantonese steamed fish, pairing seamlessly with both delicately flavored and richer dishes.
Winery Background
Susana Balbo Wines is recognized as a pioneering producer in Argentina, founded by Susana Balbo, the country's first female oenologist. The estate is celebrated for its innovative winemaking techniques and commitment to sustainable vineyard practices, with a particular focus on expressing the unique terroir of Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards. Their philosophy centers on crafting wines that highlight the purity and elegance of Argentina’s native varieties, especially Torrontés. Barrel fermentation is a signature approach at Susana Balbo Wines, lending depth and sophistication to their aromatic whites while reflecting the estate’s dedication to quality and expressive character.
