Torrontes

White wine grape · reported 2006–2025

Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services

Torrontés is the name most associated with Argentina's aromatic, Muscat-scented white wines, though the atlas notes that California plantings reported under this spelling could not be matched to a single confirmed VIVC record — the name covers more than one grape internationally. CDFA crush data run from 2006 through 2025 across ten districts, but no bearing acreage has ever been separately reported, and volumes stay modest, peaking around 48 tons crushed in a year with prices reaching about $2,440 a ton. In California it remains a minor, unconfirmed-identity planting rather than an established varietal category.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Torrontes, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
