Vivacious Vino - Review of Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: 100% Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
Alcohol Content: 12%
With/Without Food: Without food at The Vintage Cellar

Wine 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: Smelled so good! Very sweet, fruity, and floral (Daisies/Roses)! It was a little acidic and dry, but good. I liked two of the other wines from this tasting, but I love trying all of the new wines!
