Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay

Name: Maipe Chardonnay
Variety: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Critic 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:  There was a strong aroma of green apple, sweet pear, and oak.  This wine was a little bitter, and I could taste the sharp green apple.  This wine was clean and smooth.  I enjoyed this wine and would drink it again.

I tasted this wine without food.
