Santa Ema 2013 Reserve Chardonnay (Leyda Valley)

Country: Chile / Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay Leyda Valley
Winery: Santa Ema /

Pear and melon aromas get a boost from the barrel, but ultimately the nose on this Chardonnay is simple. In the mouth, things run smooth. Barrel-related flavors of spice, hickory and toast dominate white-fruit notes, while the finish is oaky but balanced in feel.
