Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Shop Critic: 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 apple flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, and vegetables.
My Review: This chardonnay was golden in color. It was appley with a buttery, creamy finish from the malolactic acid that was very present. It reminded me of fuji apples and pears in a can. It was very smooth on the tongue and had a long finish. Overall pretty well rounded. We were told this wine was 14% alcohol which is huge for a chardonnay! Not bad!
I drank this wine with no food pairings.
