Tasting - "Maipe Chardonnay"


Name: Maipe Chardonnay
Variety: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: 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.
Your review: This wine was light yellow in color and had a tart, crisp flavor with a good bite. I believe I tasted pears also. I give this wine two stars.
Did not have food with the wine.
