Colibri Torrontes 2007 Famatina Valley
Saturday, May 17th, 2008My first experience of buying from the Virgin Wines auction site left me with a case of total tosh to distribute discretely amongst my sorry mates.
But I bravely (some would say foolishly) tried again and this time things look more promising. This one came from a case of All White Delights and I successfully bid less than £50 including delivery!
I am a fan of Argie wines – Malbec and Torrontés are my favourites. The Colibri was typical of other Torrontés I have tried with lime, kiwi and rich apricot flavours. Simple and unpretentious, I like it.
The insipid colour was paler than an albino’s bikini line, but it is a lively, zingy and decent (but cheaper) alternative to Sauvignon Blancs. It ticks all the boxes for me.
Stumble It!
