Michel Torino 2012 Don David Reserve Chardonnay (Calchaquí Valley)

Country: Argentina / Don David Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay Other
Winery: Michel Torino / Calchaquí Valley

Tropical fruit aromas are the lead-in, but upon airing the wine’s pineapple and mango scents turn austere and prickly. The mouthfeel here is astringent and acidic, and the flavors are briny, even pickled.
