Score 17/20 · Drink 2024-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2024

From Paraje Altamira. Chilled to 6 °C, destemmed and macerated in the press with dry ice for two hours. Gently pressed before being fermented with selected yeasts in new barrels of French oak. Aged on the lees in 100% new French oak for six months with weekly stirring. The Queen of Torrontés, Susana Balbo, has reinvented this variety several times over, and her barrel - fermented version is another great case in point. Filled with tropical notes of passion - fruit cream, lychee and mango, it is an exuberant and extroverted wine on the nose. However, in the palate it actually shows wonderful restraint with a firmer structure from the oak ageing and vibrant acidity on the finish. (AB)
