Susana Balbo Late Harvest Torrontes 2012

Pale yellow with golden hints, it reveals intense aromas of jasmine, white rose petals and notes of fresh citrus fruit. On the palate, it has enticing flavors of lychee, honey and pear leading to a delicate and silky finish. Pairs well with cheesecake, apple-based cakes, lemon pie or even cheese like Camembert.

Susana became the first female enologist in Argentina after graduating with honors from Don Bosco University in Mendoza in 1981. Due to the male-dominated industry in Mendoza, her first job took her north to Salta where she changed Argentine wine history with her first vintage of premium Torrontés. Susana continually seeks innovative ways to enhance her winemaking, from experimenting with barrel volumes (160L through 6,500L) to testing wild vs cultured yeasts.
