This unoaked wine - 100% Chardonnay - smells great. It has a rich, golden tint and a little Champagne-like funk on the nose. I have only encountered that quality once before in a still wine, and it was in a Chardonnay from Uruguay. In this Moroccan Chardonnay it is not as pronounced, and it might be taken as salinity. The fruit aromas offer nectarines, peaches, pineapples and a touch of lime. In the mouth, fantastic acidity makes a refreshing sip. Tropical fruit flavors dominate - papaya, mango, pineapple - and there is an earthy quality that is expected after the aromas telegraphed it. The wine finishes citrusy, but it doesn't last very long.

Un-Oaked and unappealing, removing the foil revealed sand around the top of the cork. 😝 I was a bit worried to taste it, and was not too surprised by finding no acid to speak of and cooked apples. This wine was poured out quickly! #mediasample
