Siegel 2009 Crucero Chardonnay (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Crucero
Variety: Chardonnay Colchagua Valley
Winery: Siegel /

Generic Chardonnay but still pretty good, with oily, nutty, tropical aromas followed by a zesty, acidic palate that loads up on apple and citrusy orange-like flavors. Shows good length and clarity on the finish, and overall it outperforms the winery’s so-called “reserva” Chard from the same year.
