Another stellar value from Domaine Bousquet. This is made with 100% Chardonnay from organic grapes in Argentina. Pale golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruit, slight lemon and just a bit of peach. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is clean and refreshing. It drinks easy on its own and will work with lighter foods. A nice wine with grilled trout or other fish. Drink over the next three to five years. Great value.
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 cumbe
This is a Chardonnay from Argentina. Light golden in color, watery at the rim, clear and bright. The nose is a bit reductive but also some grapefruit and a bit of minerality. Full bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, nice minerality with slight lemon notes. Moderate finish. This is a very refreshing wine that is nice on its own and would work well with a Tuna or Crab salad. Drink over the next few years.
Light golden in color with slight green hues, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruit, slight chamomile and slight spice. Medium to full bodied. Tart acidity. Light tannins. On the palate, grapefruit and granny smith apples. Long finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. Seafood would work but so would fried chicken. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Known for Pinot Noir, Kosta Browne has embarked on a Chardonnay program for a number of years but only recently has given the single vineyards wines turbo-charged attention.” “Elevating our Chardonnay to the same level as our Pinot Noirs is something our team takes great pride in,” says winemaker Julien Howsepian. This stellar example of Chardonnay allows for light malolactic fermentation, bright acidity, crisp fruit and minerality. This offers seductive notes of crème brûlée, lemon chiffon, lime kefir, sweet resin, apricot, white peach and delicate herbal wildflowers.
This is a white wine from Sicily that is a blend of Grillo and Chardonnay. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with white floral notes, peach and slight citrus. With air and slight smoked note comes thru. Medium bodied. Moderate acidity. Nice texture. On the palate, there is a tart citrus note with good minerality. Some complexity.

On the palate, this is round and easy to drink. Fully mature. Flavors of peach with a bit of citrus. This drinks very well on its own and would work nicely with seafood with a butter sauce.
