Gran Reserva Serie Riberas Ribera del Rapel Chardonnay

This has impressed me more than any other Concha Y Toro I've had in recent years. Really unique, banana, pineapple and key lime characteristics that aren't weighty on the palate in spite of its richness. It's a pretty easy drinking, nice summer Chard that would pair well with a number of foods.

Matt had this 9 years ago

Yellow fruits,lychee and banana

TW excellent for seafood, especially garlic-heavy Spanish seafood.

Light on the oak, fruity but not as dry as I like Chard

Oily to pour, a racy combo of oak and butter with crisp acid and fruit. I liked it, LD less so.

Get again

Very crisp and refreshing!!

~ Nose is a bit musty with sweet banana and light florals. Green apple and honey. Too sweet for my taste but better after it opens up. ($9 at Costco)

Pretty good. They didn't screw up the Chardonnay bravo!
