Wine 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: Maipe offers a wonderful Torrontes from the Salta region, emanating pepper, Asian spices, and taro root on the nose. I thought this Asian flair odd for an Argentinean wine, but loved these aromatics nonetheless! On the palate, there is a slight kick as soon as the wine washes over the tongue, offering a slight carbonation sensation. With a calming flavor of cantaloupe and light fruits, this wine can be enjoyed with its long finish. A superb wine!
