Chilensis Reserva Chardonnay 2008 (Chile)

This wine hales from the Maule Valley in Chile where it is blessed with hot dry days and cooled by mountain breezes at night. Perfect for grapes! I purchased this wine for $16 although I have seen it elsewhere for around $14.

100% Chardonnay this wine is vibrant gold in color, fresh medium bodied with notes of tropical fruits, pineapple, guava and is that coconut I smell? Yes I believe it is...and a touch of coconut! On the palate this wine quenches your thirst with flavors of pineapple, citrus and guava followed by a smooth vanilla note creamy finish.
