Tasting- Maipe Torrontes



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

Description: 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.


I did not try this wine with food, and perhaps I should have. Its flavor was highly unappealing and frankly, I found it as tasty as vomit.
