Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Region/Country: Mendoza, Argentina
Year: 2014
Price: $14-- Sale $7.95

Winery 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 white wine was exploding with a floral aspect on the nose and on the palate! Rose petals were very evident from the beginning on the nose, and it was mixed with lemon peels on the palate. The citrusy component added a slight kick on the wine and made it a bit bitter, but it had a refreshing finish. I tasted this wine on its own with no food. I would give this an 88.
