Tasting - Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Salta
Country: Argentina
Vintage: 2016
Price: $13, on sale for $7.95

Shop 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: This wine smells AMAZING! I got aromas of orange blossom, apricot, and grape juice (lol). One descriptor that a man working there gave me was "fruit loops" and as soon as he said that I thought of fruity pebbles, similar to fruit loops, but that is exactly what this wine smells like! It tasted really good too. It was a little too acidic for me though.

Pairing: Not with this wine!

Cheers!
Natalie
