Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay


Name:  Maipe Chardonnay
Variety:  85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2012
Price: $7.95
Tasting Date and Location: 28 Feb 2013 at Vintage Cellar

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.  

My review:  This one was dryer than the Villa d' Orvieto.  The acidity was noticeable.  Otherwise, didn’t really make much of an impression on me.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
