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: I don't have a ton of experience, so this was the most "floral" wine I've ever had.  The taste was very evident after the 1st few sips.  Was a bit on the sweet side with hints of sour apple.  I like this white wine quite a bit!

Paired with food: Not this time.
