Morandé 2001 Morande Pionero Chardonnay (Central Valley)

Country: Chile / Morande Pionero
Variety: Chardonnay Central Valley
Winery: Morandé /

The nose has some pine-based cleaner aromas to it, but not much luscious fruit. The palate has apple, pear and melon flavors, but they are more vague than distinct. The finish is a continuation of what you get on the palate, but at the end you get a hint of toffee or caramel. Straightforward and basic; not nuanced or exotic.
