Tasting -- Lobetia Chardonnay


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

Winery 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: I'm not the biggest chardonnay fan but I really enjoyed this wine. I actually bought a bottle to take home with me. I rarely drink spanish white wines so this was very intriguing. In the store it was rich with floral components. When I tried my bottle at home, I think it needed to breath because it was much more closed off and sharp. I didn't like it as much at home.

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
