Shop Review: Made from 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier. 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables (Vintage Cellar).
My Review: The aroma of green apples immediately jumps out when smelling the Maipe Chardonnay. Other than that, it is hard to pick up any significant aromas in this wine. The taste of this wine was rather acidic. You can definitely taste the oak in this as well, which was one of the biggest turn offs for me in this wine. I felt as though the finish lingered in this wine not in a good way.
