Wine Review: This yellow colored Chardonnay from Argentina is very tropical. It opens with a fragrant pear and mango bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied, nicely balanced, very flavorful and fruit forward. Those flavors are ripe pear and apricot blend with hints of tangerine and mango. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for quite some time after the wine is gone. This wine would be perfect with swordfish skewers. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: DiamAndes de Uco Chardonnay is a blend of single varietal Chardonnay. This grape variety achieves full expression on DiamAndes' high altitude, complex, very well-drained terroirs. Developing ripe, varied flavours of tropical fruit, white-fleshed fruit and citrus notes, the mid-palate is full-bodied and rich with good length. The special characteristics of the DiamAndes vineyard bring freshness and balance, adding a unique dimension. This wine is both supple and full-bodied, with a fine structure and generous volume, while at the same time being immediately enjoyable to drink.
