Comments	Torrontés is the name of several white grape varieties in Argentina. Torrontés Riojano is a separate variety from those other Argentinian varieties and is also distinct from the Torrontés in Spanish Galicia. This variety is sought for its aromoatic quality, attributable to parentage of Muscat of Alexandria and Criolla chica.
