Tasting- Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2014
Price: $14 Sale: $7.95
Expert Review: The wine has a 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.

My Review: This wine was light yellow in color. This wine smelled like spring, with floral undertones and pollen. Honey was present in this wine and reminded me of a warm spring breeze. In the mid palate, it was bitter and semi dry. Mint and eucalyptus were the dominant flavors. This was a light bodied wine and fairly watery in to the after taste.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
