Vintage Cellar Tasting - Maipe

  • Name: Maipe
  • Variety: Chardonnay, Viognier
  • Region: Mendoza
  • Country: Argentina
  • Year: 2012
  • Price: $7.95
  • Shop 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 sour, acidic, and uriny, a little offputting honestly.  The flavor was also quite acidic and sour.  And an aftertaste of something I can only describe as vomitty.  I was not a fan of this wine...at all!
  • No food
