Tasting- Maipe Torrontes



Name: Maipe
Variety:  Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $ 7.95
Winery Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body.  Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, seafood and a great partner for spicy food as well.


Personal Review: I could really smell the roses and the apple. The smell really delighted me, it smelled a little like a rose perfume. Which is one of my favorite scents. Upon tasting I really got the green apple flavor. It was very fruity and light. However, I did not enjoy the finish. It was too bitter for me. The after taste ruined the wine for me. I did not pair it with food.
