What is this wine?
Riccitelli’s Torrontés “The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far” 2024 is a vibrant white wine from Argentina’s Cafayate Valley in Salta—home to the country’s best Torrontés vineyards. Made by Matías Riccitelli, one of Argentina’s most dynamic young winemakers, this wine comes from old-vine, high-altitude vineyards (around 1,700 meters) grown on sandy, rocky soils. Fermented with native yeasts and aged briefly on lees, it’s a fresh, textured, and highly aromatic expression of Argentina’s signature white grape.
Why get this wine?
Riccitelli has redefined Torrontés, crafting a version that’s precise and mineral rather than overly perfumed. The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far combines expressive floral and citrus aromatics with crisp acidity and a saline backbone—refreshing, modern, and food-friendly. It’s a standout value and a must-try for fans of aromatic whites like Albariño or Grüner Veltliner.
What does this wine taste like?
Bright and lifted, with notes of white peach, jasmine, lime zest, and fresh herbs. The palate is dry and zesty, with a touch of texture from lees aging and a clean, mineral finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2026 for peak freshness. Perfect with ceviche, sushi, or spicy Thai dishes. Serve well-chilled to accentuate its vibrancy and perfume.
