Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay
Variety: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Winery 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: I found this Chardonnay very tasty, with some noticeable oak flavors. In the mid-palate there was a pleasant vanilla mixed in with slightly tart fruit. As strange as it sounds, towards the mid-palate I tasted what seemed like buttered toast. These tapered off into a long and very acidic finish. This was one of the best Chardonnays I've tried so far.
I did not try this with food.
