Tasting Maipe Torrontes 2013



• Name: Maipe
• Variety: Torrontes
• Region: Mendoza
• Country: Argentina
• Year: 2013
• Price: $7.95
• Shop/wine critic/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 white wine looks crispy gold, very clear. I thought this wine had a full body, but not too strong. The finish is pretty long but again, not too strong. This wine is just kind of a lay back and chill with kind of wine. Easy to drink and have food with, although I did not have food with it. I liked the wine, it was fruity with some hints of orange or citrus flavors, very refreshing.  
• I had this wine at a wine tasting and did not had food with it.
