Chardonnay from Chile, South America: Montes Alpha Series Chardonnay 2007


It is a strong fruity wine with beautiful Chardonnay character. Evident banana, pineapple, and tropical fruits in the upfront with a well-integrated oak that helps add elegance without covering the fruit. The Malolactic fermentation makes a full wine in the mid palate with long and pleasant finish and nice buttery after taste. Nice balanced between fruit and oak.

Light gold. Highly complex aromas of white peach, tarragon, floral honey and smoky lees. Firm, sharply focused citrus and pit fruit flavors are complicated by notes of Sen-Sen, buttered toast and baking spices, with very good back-end cut. Finishes with gentle sweetness and a strong echo of licorice.
