Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95
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: The nose of this wine was light, but a little darker than the last, with peachy and citrus-y aromas. It also smelled floral, with hints of rose petal. The wine was orange-flavored, slightly citrus-y and was a little dry. The wine was really light, thin and crisp, and could easily be paired with appetizers or desserts as well. I liked this wine but not enough to purchase it. I did not have this wine with any food.
