So often Chardonnay gets a bad rap. ABC, anything but Chardonnay, is a common mantra in many blogs and wine websites. When done right Chardonnay can make some of the most beautiful wines, and so in tribute to what is a sometimes an overly hyped and sometimes overly criticized grape I post this photo! Taken this past Tuesday at Milmanda vineyards of the Torres winery. The winein the glass is Milmanda Chardonnay and the grape is from the vines that this wine is made from.
and here’s my tasting note.
Milmanda 2005 White wine produced by Bodegas Torres in CONCA DE BARBERÁ, SpainNote: Light pale golden in color with a nose that has mushroom notes, followed by lime, fresh pineapple, and subtle nut aromas. Medium acidity and with a creamy lush mouthfeel, this wine shows restraint when it comes to oak, leaving just a whisper at the finish. Pineapple in the mouth followed by vanilla and complex citrus qualities. Wow a beautiful Chardonnay. (Tasted on August 15, 2007)
Enjoy!
