Tasting - Maipe Torrontes 2013




NameMaipe Torrontes
Variety100% Torrentes
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: I wasn't a big fan of this wine. It had a very fruity smell and an in-your-face, intense fruity/acidic taste. It was a pretty dry wine and left me with a citrusy after taste which I personally wasn't a fan of.


I did not have this wine with food.
