Tasting: Maipe Torrontes 2016

Name: Maipe Torrontes 2016
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2016
Price: Regular $13, Sale $7.95
Winery Review: This is an aromatic floral Torrontés with hints of air freshener and bath oil on the nose. A palate with zesty acidity frames crisp flavors of citrus pulp and peel. A racy finish tastes of lime before showing patented varietal bitterness.
My Review: This wine smelled like citrus and crisp apples. It tasted like battery acid and I was hit with a STRONG lemon flavor and a lime aftertaste. The aftertaste was very tart and bitter in my opinion, and the wine made the front of my throat feel like it was burning. I was not a fan, it reminded me a bit too much of cheap vodka.

I did not taste this wine with food.
