Tasting-Maipe Chardonnay


Name: Maipe Chardonnay
Variety: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Voignier (30% Malo-lactic Fermentation, 30% aged in French oak barrels)
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Shop review: “Brilliant yellow golden color with hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apple flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The color was a nice green-yellow, and smells very woody (you could tell it was oaked). The taste was yeasty and twiggy, resembling dry pasta.  It had a slight sour finish as is expected for white wine.

I drank this without food.
