Fair trade label. Also looks like a Putamayo album cover painting on the bottle. Aroma is slightly Chard-y with a little butterscotch under the lemon bar and apricot jam. Flavor is crisp and sorta pine-y. Fairly buttery underneath, but plenty of acid to offset it. Clean and shorter finish kinda like a Budweiser. Not my favorite, but drinkable Chardonnay. The citrus, acid saves it. Cheap.

Affordable brand from a family co-operative in Argentina. Acidity turned into tropical fruitiness next to an Asian chicken dish. Would pair with Asian flavors again.
