Raffy - Familia Zanchetta
Hedera Torrontés
It shows a pale yellow color with subtle greenish highlights, limpid and highly brilliant, hinting at its natural freshness. It is distinguished by a captivating aromatic exuberance.
It unfolds a complex palette of white flowers and chamomile, interwoven with fruity notes of white peach, lychee and exotic fruit.
It surprises with the fascinating contrast between its complex, seemingly sweet nose and a dry, elegant, vibrant palate. It has balanced acidity that brings verticality and an elegant structure. Its finish is long, persistent and deeply aromatic.
This is, without a doubt, a refined and original interpretation of Argentina's emblematic variety.
