Tasting-Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes


 

Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2014
Price:  Regular $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: Pale yellow to almost clear in color, the nose of Maipe reminded me of a sweet Key Lime pie mixed with Welch's grape juice. Tart, crisp apple appeared on my palate but I did not notice much body and I felt it to be very  flat. It also left a lingering bitter taste and a dry mouth feel. 
Food?:  did not pair with food.
