Tasting - Maipe Torrontes 2016

Name: Maipe
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Salta
Country: Argentina
Vintage: 2016
Price: $13 Sale $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.

My Review: Possibly even clearer than the Viognier in color. A fruity noise with 3 distincts: orange blossom, apricot, and peach. The taste reveals very ripe and acidic versions of the aforementioned aromas. The taste changes from acidic to sweet, then presents more floral notes which remain for a while. Overall very enjoyable and would love to try again on a hot beach vacation. Blue moon would be my pick as a beer of similar qualities to this wine in general.


Tasted without food.
