Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: 100% 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.

My review: Delicious! This wine is beautiful even in the glass with it's clear golden look. It's bouquet was highly floral with notes of nutty melon. It smelled quite sweet. Maipe Torrontes is a medium-full bodied white with a dry and bitter taste-- although still pleasant. I didn't drink this with food.
