Tasting- Gougenheim Torrontes

Name: Gougenheim
Variety: Torrontes
Region: ?
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: 9.95

Winery Review: The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now.

Personal Review: This wine was okay. On the nose I got peach, lemon and other citrus flavors. It had a similar flavor profile to the Pinot Grigio we tasted this week. However, it was very acidic, sharp and crisp. I think that this wine would pair well with food because of how acidic it is.
