Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: 100% Torrentes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Winery 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 had a very pungent flower smell, it smelled like a floral shop. This wine had hints of pear in the flavor and had a more acidic finish than the Pinot Grigio. It was also much drier than the Pinot Grigio which I did not like. 

I did not have this wine with food.
