Crios - Torrontes 2024
Crios Description
Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontés is a vibrant and expressive white wine that captures the essence of Argentina’s most distinctive white grape. Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Cafayate in Salta—one of the world’s premier regions for Torrontés—this wine reflects the purity and freshness of its mountain terroir.
This opens with fragrant aromas of white flowers, lychee, and tropical citrus, balanced by a touch of orange peel and subtle spice. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of ripe peach, pear, and grapefruit layered over bright acidity and a delicate mineral finish. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve aromatic intensity and freshness, this wine is dry, clean, and full of life.
Crafted by Susana Balbo—Argentina’s first female oenologist—Crios Torrontés is a bold, modern expression of tradition and innovation. Enjoy it on its own or paired with sushi, spicy Asian dishes, ceviche, or fresh cheeses.

Aromas of orange blossoms, lemons, quince, pears and tropical fruit. The palate is round and fruit-forward, with attractive volume and a tropical note in the finish.
