Name: Tierra de Luna Torrontes-Chardonnay

Variety:White Blend (Torrontes and Chardonnay)

Region: Mendoza

Country: Argentina

Year:2009

Vintage Cellar Review:
"Fresh and crisp, with floral aromas and flavors of quince and pear, this wine is a versatile companion to informal meals, and is excellent as an aperitif."


My Review:
This white blend has a very light color.  In fact it's almost completely clear.  The scent features pears, apricots, and a hint of apple.  The taste also had pears and apricots, with maybe a bit of lemon.  It was a very light and sweet wine with almost a syrupy texture.  There was not a long aftertaste.  I enjoyed this wine, it would be great for a summer evening sitting on the deck because it was just extremely light, which to me gives it a summery vibe. 


Pairings: I didn't try this with food, but I think it would be nice with a spinach salad with fruit.  Something light and fresh and summery.
