An interesting wine. The literature along with the wine indicated that this was sweet, but not really. Perhaps a perception of sweetness and indeed, the literature also indicates that the sugars are 1.61 (assuming g/l). In any event, this is a really nice Chardonnay that should be quite popular. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with some tropical fruits (pineapple and guava) but also a bit of lemon. Medium bodied. Good balance. On the palate, the lemon leads but is quickly followed by pineapple and a bit of peach. Clean and while not "crisp" it is not cumbersome by any means. This is nice on its own and will work with a lot of foods. A creamy pasta would be a nice match. Finally, it is a great value compared to some of the more popular grocery store Chards of this style. Drink over the next three to five years. Screw capped.
