Carmen Wine Maker's Reserve Chardonnay 1998

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileLighter color more flavour and cooler style says winemaker Espinoza. They are using more direct pressing now and mostly one-year-old oak. The result is a change in style to a more elegant but more complex wine. Look for light honey mango fruit with a creamy lees and citrus finish. Still big concentration and weight for Casablanca.Tasted: 01 September 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
