2006 Gérard Bertrand 6’eme Sens Rosé

Featured Tasting: 'Wines for Summer Drinking' Oxford & Cambridge Club Beijing, Part II

2006 Norton ‘Lo Tengo’ Torrontes, Mendoza, Argentina

Appearance: gold with orange tints.

Nose: distinctive Torrontes nose of lychee and mango, but not really the rose-petal or gingerbread quality of Gewurztraminer (nor the orange blossom aspect of Muscat). Torrontes is apparently related to Muscat, but it remains an Argentinian thing really.
