Winery review: 
"The 2011 Zuccardi Serie A Torrontes from Cafayate in Salta, is 50% direct pressed and sees no oak. It has a fresh grapefruit, nectarine and passion fruit bouquet that is crisp and well-defined. The palate is vibrant on the entry, with a keen thread of acidity and great focus and poise on the white peach-tinged finish. This is one of the best Torrontes wines I have found. Drink now. "90 Points The Wine Advocate"

My review: This wine smells of peaches, flowers, pears, and oranges. Its a very crisp looking and smelling wine. It tastes like liquid flowers and heaven. There is certainly acid here yet it is well balanced. It's hard to say much more about this wine but it tastes really nice and it is pretty cheap.
