Tasting- Maipe Torrontes

Name: Maipe
Variety: 100% Torrontes
Region: Salta
Country: Argentina
Year: 2016
Price: $13

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: The smell is inviting and warm with hints of peach. Tastes sparkling on the tongue though it is not a sparkling wine. Hints of peach in the flavor.

Paired with food: No, but I would give it a try. I was not a fan of the wine so perhaps food would balance it even better for my palate.
