Torrontés is Argentina’s signature white grape—floral, aromatic, and unlike anything else in the world.
In this episode of The Second Glass, we explore where Torrontés really comes from, why there are three distinct types (Riojano, Sanjuanino, Mendocino), and why only one truly matters for quality wine.

We break down:
• the high-altitude vineyards of Salta and Cafayate
• classic aromas like jasmine, rose, and peach
• the contrast between intense aromatics and dry palate
• how altitude and sunlight shape Torrontés’ style
• key exam-level facts for CSW, WSET, and CMS frameworks

Whether you’re learning for an exam or just curious about Argentina’s most expressive white grape, this episode uncorks the story behind Torrontés and shows why it deserves a place in your glass.
