Zolo 2024 Torrontes (Mendoza, Argentina)

The Wine

A traditional, aromatic white wine from Mendoza, showcasing Argentina’s signature white grape in all its modern, fresh style. 

As is common for Torontos, the wine is intensely perfumed with aromas that hint at orange blossom, jasmine, and rose petals, alongside ripe tropical fruit such as lychee, pineapple, and mango.

On the palate, the wine is crisp and vibrant, with bright acidity that lifts the floral aromatics and a touch of citrus zest. The texture is smooth yet light and bright, with a clean, refreshing finish that makes it ideal for drinking with either light foods or as a contrast to creamy sauces. It pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, ceviche, grilled fish, or simply enjoyed as an aperitif, where its aromatic character shines without interference.
