Tasting: Clara Benegas Chardonnay

Name: Clara Benegas Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Mendozza 
Country: Argentina
Year: 2016
Price: $8.95 at Vintage Cellar, Regular $14

Shop Review: A crisp, unoaked chardonnay with a hint of Sauvignon Blanc coming form the cold region of Mendoza in the Uco Valley. Clear and bright with greenish hues. On the nose it is fragrant and elegant with fresh citrus aromas as well as fruit such as passion fruit, pineapple and white pear. Soft on the mouth with gentle acidity and a marked, pleasant aftertaste. Enjoy with seafood dishes, white meats or simply as an aperitif.

My Review: The aromas of this wine were very strong including hints of butter and citrus elements. On the palate this wine was semi-sweet with a dryness and gave tart green apple and citrus flavors. 

This wine was not tasted with food.
