Decanter World Wine Awards 2023 Silver
This lovely wine is a Bordeaux blend with an Argentine twist. The expected Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are combined with masterfully-crafted Torrontés - Susana is the 'Queen of Torrontés', after all. The result is wonderfully bright and aromatic, with freshness yet also layers of texture and complexity. Floral and citrus notes combine with hints of fresh grass, white peach and orange. In the mouth, floral, fresh and fruity flavours are in perfect balance with the unctuousness that comes from barrel maturation.

Press Review
95/100 - Precision, vividness and poise define this child of a cold vintage. The Sémillon that dominates the blend builds a strong core of Asian pear, peach and blanched almonds, cloaked in crisp green apple, gooseberry and lime. Chamomile and linden hover harmoniously, adding fragrant lift as well as depth. Pleasant roundness on the mid-palate, offset by the mineral, chiseled finish.
Press Review
94/100 - Blending 38% Semillon, 34% Sauvignon Blanc, and 28% Torrontes, the 2022 White Blend Brioso Signature is delightfully complex and refreshing, coming from sites in the Paraje Altamira. The Semillon was aged in concrete, while the Sauvignon Blanc enjoyed five months in French oak barrels, 60% of them new. The Torrontes also saw time in oak. Textured, the wine is floral and citrus-driven, with lovely minerality woven throughout. Drink now and through 2030.
