Beautiful & unique Chardonnay today. This one comes from outside Traiguen in Malleco. I’m not super familiar with Chilean chards so not a lot to compare too. What I’m getting is a light, yet brilliant, yellow color with aromatics that are reminiscent of slight reduction - flint and gunsmoke. It does blow off leaving behind lime and banana peel, and a small touch of vanilla. It’s bone dry, strong acidity and medium+ body. Some green notes, minerally, not much fruit. Big time finish which makes it a nice long sipper.

Sweet and creamy on its own, balances out when paired with a salty seafood dish.
