Torrontés from Cafayate is best described by which aroma profile?

Torrontés from Cafayate is renowned for its intense, perfume-like aroma, dominated by florals—especially orange blossom—paired with bright citrus and stone-fruit notes. The high-altitude climate of Cafayate helps lock in that vivid floral character, making the floral profile the defining feature of this wine from the region. Descriptions that emphasize earthiness or dark berry/pepper don’t fit Torrontés from Cafayate, nor does a merely citrus-and-fruit note without the pronounced floral lift. So the best match is florals (orange blossom) with citrus and stone fruit.
