Tasting-Maipe Torrontes

Variety- 100% Torrontes
Region- Mendoza
Country- Argentina
Year- 2013

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. 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: Floral scents and on the nose and you can tell it is going to taste sweet. The wine was indeed tasteful on the palate and was fruity with a bit of an acid bite. The shop review is accurate in my eyes and spot on describing the wine as well balanced. It has a citrus taste and  is definitely refreshing. I would love to eat this wine with a nicely grilled fish.

I tasted this on it's own without food.
