Viña Casas Patronales 2011 Reserva Chardonnay (Maule Valley)

Country: Chile / Reserva
Variety: Chardonnay Maule Valley
Winery: Viña Casas Patronales /

This is an oaky, smoky wine, with cinnamon and hickory notes on the nose and palate. There’s also ample pear and melon character along with tropical fruit and spice notes. It’s resiny and chunky, but good acidity keeps it lively and balanced.
