Wine Reviews

This light-yellow colored Chardonnay from Argentina is a very good value. It opens with pineapple and pink grapefruit bouquet with hints of lemon-lime. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is bright, rounded and refreshing. The flavor profile is a lemon tea and saline blend with notes of chalky minerality and green apple. I also detected hints of white pepper and lime. The finish remains refreshing. Hence, this is a very nice summer,

The 2022 Chardonnay Reserva hails from the Uco Valley. It aged in 50% French oak barrels and the rest in steel tanks. Yellow in hue. The nose features green apple and pear as well as linden blossom, vanilla and cedar against a pastry backdrop. Both creamy and taut, the palate is quite buttery and refreshing. A well-made Chard that over-delivers at this price point.

A hint of golden berry and green apples to the nose with a touch of mineral. Bone dry and slightly saline on the palate with a fresh beam of acidity. Crisp and chalky finish with a medium length. 50% of the fruit from Gualtallary and 50% Altamira. Drink now. Screw cap.

Perfumed, spicy nose of baked pineapple, white pepper, fennel seeds, grilled lemon and butterscotch. Medium-bodied with a creamy palate and fresh acidity. Spicy yet tangy finish.
