2011 Lobetia Chardonnay Tasting

Name: Lobetia Chardonnay
Varietal: Chardonnay
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $9.95

Vintage Cellar's 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.

My Review:

Organic once again! Uber sweet and fruity nose. I got wafts of tropical fruits such as pineapple and/or mango. The body was also very tropically flavored and sweet. It was light, unoaked, had appropriate acidity, and was smooth. Overall, a good try for a summer’s day but a bit unbalanced. Would try again.

Tasted without food.
