Tasting - "Maipe Torrontes 2013"




  • Name: Maipe Torrontes 2013
  • Variety: Torrontes
  • Region: Mendoza
  • Country: Argentina
  • Year: 2013
  • Price: $7.95
  • Vintage Cellar 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: This wine evoked a very pleasing fruity smell. This wine provided a very sweet taste, leading me to believe that this wine would be very well suited for consumption with dessert. Acidic and rough could also be used to describe this wine, which was not aided very well by the citrusy aftertaste that I was left with. Overall, this was my least favorite wine of this tasting.
