Tasting - Maipe Torrontes



Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: 100% Torrontes
Region: Mendoza 
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Shop 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. 
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: This white definitely lived up to its description. The initial smell was undoubtedly citrus; I guessed some pear and pineapple. Its taste was light, fruity, with a stronger palate than other whites I've tried thus far. This is a wine that I could see going very well with food, as it's not overpowering. 

Tasted without food.
