Golden in color, this warm Brazilian chardonnay posseses a lot of tropical fruit notes on the nose and that leads into stewed tropical fruit on the tongue. It's certainly unlike any chardonnay that I've tasted before! There is a touch of bitterness and a lot of (added?) acid for a chard, unfortunately for me that acid drowns the fruit.
Points for uniqueness

No barrels , malo fermentation. Acid and Citrus shows through. A nice 'naked' Chardy. I quite like it.
