New Age White Wine

During a few of my tastings customers have asked if the store carried New Age.  It has finally hit the shelves and I had to taste it.  

New Age White Wine, NV ($10) is from Mendoza, Argentina and a blend of  90% Torrontes, 10% Sauvignon Blanc. A pale light straw color, this wine is sweet and fruity with a little frizzante.  The aroma was sweet with a hint of citrus and grassiness.  The flavor was fruity with a hint of honey and minerality.  A great surprise for me and perfect for a hot summer day.  The back label suggests serving New Age over ice with a lime wedge.  This is a popular cocktail in Argentina called "Tincho".  I tasted New Age with a lime wedge and with a lemon wedge.  Lime was best, but I still prefer New Age chilled and straight up.  Additional cocktail recipes can be found on the website for Quintessential Wines.  

Winemaker's Notes:  A light yellow/green colored wine, with fruity and floral aromas of great intensity. Balanced acidity leads to soft, semi-sweet and slightly effervescent flavors and mouth feel. It is an extremely refreshing, vivacious and sensual wine.  This wine should be served well-chilled as an aperitif or dessert. Also tastes great with spicy Thai, Indian, Chinese or Japanese cuisine.
