If you haven’t yet tried the intensely aromatic Torrontes grape, you’re in for a treat. Crisp yet slightly creamy, the wine combines the zestiness of Sauvignon Blanc with the floral headiness of Viognier. And it’s a grape that you only find in Argentina. Herve Fabre came from a family of wine negociants in Bordeaux, but set his sights on making great Malbec, Cabernet and Torrontes in Argentina in the early 1990’s. The indigenous Torrontes grape intrigued him as it intrigues us, offering aromatics of white peach and jasmine unlike other grapes. He makes this wine to be lush and food friendly, pairing well with spicy dishes, grilled seafood and, of course, traditional Argentine egg and green chile empanadas
