Torrontés is Argentina's great white grape — aromatic, unique, and utterly captivating when grown at altitude in the Salta region above 2,000 metres. Susana Balbo built her Crios label to showcase this variety's extraordinary perfume, and it delivers. The nose leaps from the glass with rose petal, jasmine blossom, and ripe peach, while the palate is refreshingly dry and clean — none of the flabbiness that lesser examples can suffer.

A thrilling contrast between heady aromatics and crisp, citrusy freshness. Perfect with spicy Asian dishes, Thai green curry, Indian vegetarian food, or simply as a show-stopping aperitif on a warm evening.

Susana Balbo

The most recognised and well-known female oenologist in Argentina, Susana Balbo has been instrumental in the transformation of quality table wines in Argentinean viticulture. She is best known for her innovation and progressive spirit in developing wines with unique character and quality, and she is the first Argentinean oenologist ever hired as a consultant by European wineries. At Susana Balbo Wines, her family's winery in the famed Mendoza wine region of Argentina, Susana crafts her own signature label wines. They embody the complexity of various grapes along with her creativity as an oenologist to produce fine wines that express prestige, power and finesse. For her Crios label, which means "offspring" (as in children), Susana selected a word to express the notion that these are wines given loving care and attention deserving of her children. The three hands on the label, inspired by a Mayan artefact, represent Susana and her two children. By definition, Crios is to be enjoyed while still young and vibrant.
