Tasting - Lobetia Chardonnay

Name: Lobetia Chardonnay 
Variety: Chardonnay 
Region: La Mancha 
Country: Spain 
Year: 2011 
Price: $10.95 

Shop Review: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. Clean, bright color with a greenish-yellow tone. On the nose, exotic fruits like pineapple. Full flavored, fresh, with good acidity in the mouth, it finishes with tropical fruits (Vintage Cellar). 

Personal Review: The Lobetia Chardonnay had an extremely sweet nose. I like to judge the oakiness of Chardonnays by their nose, and when smelling this one, I could instantly tell that it wasn't going to be very oaked. The nose was very unique because it kind of reminded me of apple cider. The aroma had a certain warm quality to it. Unfortunately, the taste of it wasn't quite enjoyable in my opinion. It had a strange creamy quality to the palate that I couldn't get past. It was very dry and had soft tannins
