94 POINTS - James Suckling
"Aromas of grilled pineapple, cooked pear, lime, lemon curd, and chalk. It’s medium-to-full-bodied with bright acidity and a waxy, oily texture. Ripe citrus and tropical fruit turn to minerals and blanched almonds on the long, layered finish. Blend of 42% gewürztraminer, 32% Chardonnay, and 26% Pinot Gris. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

94 POINTS - Descorchados
This wine presents the aromas of tropical fruits, citrus peel, and floral hints of jasmine due to the contribution of the Gewürstraminer. Upon opening, some mineral notes appear."

93 POINTS - Vinous
"The 2018 Corte de Blancas 45o Rugientes is a blend of 42% Gewürztraminer, 32% Chardonnay and 26% Pinot Grigio from Sarmiento, Chubut, that spent 20 months aging in casks. Yellowish green in the glass. The intriguing nose presents floral aromas of tuberose and rose plus woody notes, saffron and green apple. Dry on the palate, it is expansive with firm flavor, packaged but sharp acidity, good fat and a lengthy, bold expression in which the flowers return along with a touch of salinity. A complex, potent wine." - Joaquín Hidalgo
