Located in the foothills of the picturesque Andes Mountains, the winery Bodega Uno may be a bit unknown at present but their wines are so extraordinary and reasonably priced that their anonymity will soon be a thing of the past. Focusing on the indigenous grapes of the area, all of the wines we tasted were originally grown and great representatives of their respective varietals with bright focused fruit and delicate tannins. Today I would like to bring one of their white wines to your attention: Torrontés. Torrontés is the most characteristic and unique white varietal of Argentina and like Malbec, is responsible for the country's growing prestige in the international wine area. This wonderfully refreshing Viognier like varietal is exclusive to Argentina and in my opinion, the ideal alternative to the mundane white selections of summer. With enticing aromas of white flowers, orange citrus zest and stone fruit, this white is a mouthful of exotic flavors, ranging from citrus and peach, with delicate herbal notes and invigorating acidity. Pair its beautiful structure and clean edges with a myriad of foods, including seafood, cheeses, smoked meats or even spicy Asian cuisines. This very well may be the next Pinot Grigio phenomenon!
