Tasting: Maipe Chardonnay


Name: 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: For me this wine tasted like wood and tobacco leaves and left an unpleasant vinegar-like aftertaste in my mouth. I did not enjoy the Maipe Chardonnay.
