Tasting - "Maipe Torrontes"

  • Name: Maipe
  • Variety: Torrontes
  • Region:  Mendoza
  • Country: Argentina 
  • Year: 2014
  • Price: Regular Price $14 Sale Price $7.95
  • Vintage Cellar Review:  The wine has a 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.
  • My review: On the nose this wine has a very strong floral aroma. There was a distinct rose petal smell along with many other floral smells. There were notes of peach and apple along with a citrus smell to living the aroma up. On the palate there was no fruit taste at all. This wine was all acid with a strong bad burn. It was hard to swallow the wine as the sip hurt the entire way down my throat. This wine was absolutely terrible to taste and I had to dump the rest of my glass out. Would not recommend even with food. 
  • Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
