Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Maipe Torrontes
Name: Maipe
Variety: Torrontes
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: The nose of this wine was oaky and sweet with aromas of grapefruit. The wine itself was slightly disappointing, I expected a dry and refreshing wine but I tasted a tangy and green apple blend with floral notes with limited dryness.
