From a selection of vineyards about 1,800 meters above sea level at the Finca San Isidro estate, this is a blend that has riesling, although the truth is that it's the torrontés from Salta that plays the leading role, with its floral aromas and succulent, broad texture and the sensation that the palate is full of ripe white fruit flavors. Ideal for a fried chicken empanada.

The 2021 Torrontés - Riesling Blanco De Corte is 85% Torrontés and the rest Riesling from Cafayate. Yellow in color with a nose of citrus, jasmine and muscat notes along with a hint of mint, it’s fresh and easygoing with good fat and tension followed by a citrus finish. Excellent as an aperitif.

K&L Notes
Colomé is Donald Hess' groundbreaking Argentinian winery in the rugged, high- elevation Salta region. Amalaya is a label from this winery that presents blends based on Torrontes (for the white) and Malbec for the red. This is always our favorite Torrontes, and it's exciting to see what this winery is able to achieve with a bit of Riesling blended in. This wine is bright, delicious, and impeccably made from organically cultivated grapes grown around 5,500 feet above sea level.
