Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay


Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay

Name: Maipe Chardonnay

Variety: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier

Region: Mendoza

Country: Argentina

Year: 2012

Price: $7.95

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 Chardonnay was really good! Apples and pear were apparent when smelling the wine. The taste was really nice, filled with fruit bursts in addition to hints of oak. The wine was smooth seeming to have low acidity. This is a nice buy for someone looking to try a white wine or more specifically a Chardonnay.
