"Susana Balbo made her name with Torrontés and she still has a sure touch with the variety. This is an unusual blend of fruit from Paraje Altamira and Salta, showing lime and sherbet flavours, lots of racy acidity and a hint of tropical fruit. 2022-24"

"Perfumed nose of elderflowers, orange blossoms, lychees, white peaches and green apples. It’s medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a fruity, floral and crisp palate. Excellent freshness. Zesty finish. Vegan. Drink now. Screw cap."

"The varietal and expressive 2020 Críos Torrontés is very grapey and fruit-driven and has aromas of Moscatel pulp and some citrus notes. The palate is light, austere. 300,000 bottles produced."

"So much brightness here with sliced lime and some lemon zest. Plenty of minerally character, too. Medium and vivid. Crisp. Drink now."

"A blend of Torrontés from the Uco Valley and Cafayate. A metallic green in color, the 2019 Torrontés Crios has a nose of fresh orange blossom and citrus with lime and grass. Moderately fatty and flavorful in the mouth, it delivers well-judged acidity. This is a sensibly-priced wine with personality and a refreshing feel."

"The just-bottled 2019 Críos Torrontés felt a bit reductive and with the influence of the sulfur in the bottling. But underneath, there are notes of white peach and some citrus, and of course, the orange blossom and Moscatel pulp sensations. It has a combination of the Salta wilderness and the cooler side from the Valle de Uco, as it's a blend from both places. 324,000 bottles produced."

"Susana Balbo is a master of this spicy, indigenous variety; silky, fresh and juicy with charming Muscato-like notes and crisp acidity; a perfect lunchtime wine."

"Very pale, bright silver. Very subtle, fresh scents of lime blossom and orange peel. This inexpensive Torrontés stands out for its inner-mouth tension, dryness and salty minerality, partly due to the strong calcaire influence of some fruit from vines in Altamira (about 50% of the blend). Notes of citrus peel, menthol and licorice carry well on the finish. Susana Balbo told me that she likes "the greenness, orange peel and flowers" added by Torrontés grown in Mendoza, which she describes as more elegant than the Cafayate version."
