Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay

Variety - 85% Chardonnay, 15% 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 - This Chardonnay had a strong scent. Very acidic on the nose with fruity undertones. When tasting the wine the flavor was not at all as strong. I usually hate Chardonnay but this was a nice wine in my opinion. It was fruity, crisp and very balanced. I would purchase this wine for a meal pairing.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
