Tasting- "Maipe Torrontes 2016"

Name: Maipe Torrontes
Variety:  Torrontes
Region: Salta
Country: Argentina
Year: 2016
Price: Regular $13, Sale $7.95

Winery Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals.  On the palette, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body.  Well-balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish.

My Review: This white wine smelled strongly of honeysuckle and pears.  It was a nice dry wine, with a spicy finish that stayed on the tongue.  The main tastes I experienced were green apple and lime, a nice acidic wine.  I did not have this wine with food, but I think it would pair well with white fish in a lemon/acidic based sauce.
