Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety: 100% 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 smell was extremely sweet. It was as if I was running near trees of honeysuckle. Pear also struck my nose. The taste was much different than the aroma, much more acidic and bitter but those feelings diminished finishing with a smooth mid-palate and aftertaste.

I tried this wine without any food.
