Critic Review: Clean and basic, with peach, buttercup, and floral aromas.  The palate is round, simple, fresh, and not too acidic, with melony flavors and a soft, easygoing, monotone finish.  Generic but perfectly adequate Torrontés.  M.S.A delightfully crisp wine featuring the flacors of pineapple and grapefruit.  The acidity is balanced with the natural residual fruit sugar reminiscent of the German Spätlese style of winemaking.

My Review: This was my favorite wine of the AmRhein tasting.  While not as aromatically pleasing as some of the other wines, there was a very bright, sweet pineapple flavor.  The slight acidity is balanced with the sweetness of the residual sugar.  I think this wine would be great in the summertime.

I did not taste this wine with food
