Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay


Name: Maipe Chardonnay
Variety: 85% Chardonnay 15% Viognier
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Made from 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier. 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables.

My review: The smell was fruity with hints of peach and soft tannins.  The taste was acidic, full bodied and smooth.  I did not have this wine with food.
