Wine tasting notes

Clean and bright light yellow colour. A minerally nose with nuances of white peaches and melon. On the palate a soft and viscous structure, well complemented by the freshness, gives a long and persistent finish, with mineral nuances in the back palate.

Expert Reviews

Robert Parker (2009)88 pts

eRobertParker.com #199 Feb 2012 - Jay Miller - The 2009 Chardonnay Reserva spent 10 months in seasoned French oak with malolactic fermentation blocked. Notes of toasty oak, poached pear, melon, and hazel nuts set the stage for a smooth-textured, medium-bodied, flavorful wine that is an excellent value meant for drinking over the next 2-3 years.

Jancis Robinson (2007)16.5 pts

Published : 25-Sep-2008. Smoky and gently spiced on the nose. At last some intensity and freshness combined with clean fresh fruit. Then a tangy fresh finish despite its 14% alcohol. When to drink : 2008 to 2010.

Vinification Notes

Aged in French oak barrels for 10 months and in stainless steel tanks for 10 months.
