Maipe Torrontes


Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: 100% Torrontes
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
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: The wine provided smells of fruit, such as pears and apples. From all of the sweet smells I had taken in, I was thinking the taste of the wine would be the same. I was clearly mistaken. The wine, while it did have a fruit taste, was also dry and I think that made it taste less appealing to me. 
Food pairing: None
