Yellow straw with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with musty notes. The palate shows Apple, pear and melon, zesty flavors with gentle toasty oak. The finish is crisp with a mineral character, good balance. Much better than prior vintages.

Medium golden color. Golden Delicious apple, pineapple, butterscotch, and pie crust on the nose. Full bodied coming in at 13.5% alcohol with ripe fruit and rich texture on the palate although a bit flabby. Sourced from Carrau's "Las Violetas" vineyard's calcareous soils just 39 km north of Montevideo and then aged 6 months in new French oak on the lees. Overall, a very pleasing oaked/MLF New World Chard at this price point. $15.

Buttery and oaky, with a surprising hint of spice not usually found in a Chardonnay.
