Turruntés

The name Turruntés is often confused with the Galician variety Torrontés; however it has nothing to do neither with this variety nor with the variety cultivated in Argentina.

According to DNA analysis, the only similar variety would be the Albillo Mayor, in Castilla-León. The alcohol content is low and the acidity high, with low pH and high concentration of tartaric acid and low potassium.
This wine can be described as straw yellow in colour with greenish tones, light on the palate, with acidity and bitterness, as well as medium-short persistence.
