How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inSusana Balbo is one of Argentina's leading and most innovative winemakers. In 1981, Susana graduated as the first female oenologist in Argentine wine history. Subsequently, she worked as a winemaker for various major wine estates for 25 years. She is often regarded as the 'Evita Péron' of Argentine viticulture: influential, beloved, and a tad controversial. Under her motto 'where there's a will, there's wine,' she is paving her way to her ultimate dream: her own winery where she can unleash her full potential on her ideas for creating sublime wines. In 1999, she started her own wine estate, Dominio del Plato, in the heart of the Lujan de Cuyo in Mendoza. The winery is situated in a breathtaking setting against the backdrop of the Andes Mountains. In 2016, the name was changed to Susana Balbo Wines.
Susana is known as the 'Queen of Torrontés' for her role in transforming Torrontés from an unknown blending grape into Argentina's white star. This Críos Torrontés is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with a bouquet of citrus fruits, passion fruit, lychee, and white flowers. Lively acidity, a touch of creaminess, and a long, mineral finish lend depth and balance to the palate.
The wine is an excellent accompaniment to smoked meats, mild to medium-bodied cheeses, and seafood (especially crab, shrimp, raw and marinated fish). It is also a delicious wine to pair with Asian dishes and sushi, and a surprising partner for goat cheese.

You can say that Susana Balbo Wines has an unusual history. The woman behind this winery actually wanted to study nuclear medicine, but her parents did not allow her to leave Mendoza. Then she surrendered to the family culture: viticulture. She was the first woman in Argentina to become an oenologist and, once a winemaker, the first Argentine woman to be hired for advice by international wineries. In 1999 she started her own winery in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Her son and daughter also work in the family business. Located at the foot of the Andes mountains, the vineyards benefit from the pure meltwater that flows down in spring and summer. When making her wines, Susana combines the knowledge of the terroir with winemaking techniques. The art of blending, she says, is the way of expressing a winemaker's top talent. The play of aromas and flavors from the different terroirs resembles the color palette used by a painter.
Deze frisse, aromatische Torrontés toont uitgesproken tonen van sinaasappelbloesem, citroen, passievrucht, lychee en een lichte perzik-achtige zoetheid, met levendige zuurgraad, een vleugje romigheid en een minerale, verfrissende afdronk. Daardoor snijdt de wijn door de rijkdom van schaal- en schelpdieren, versterkt hij de delicate smaken van sushi en ceviche zonder te overheersen en vormt hij een mooie tegenhanger voor gerookte vis, gegrilde witte vis of romige geitenkaas; extra goed werken lichte bereidingen zoals ceviche of tartaar, kort gegrilde of gepocheerde vis en zacht gerookte of gemarineerde gerechten die de frisse, fruitige en bloemige karakteristieken van de wijn benadrukken.
