Casillero del Diablo Chardonnay 2002

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileI'll admit I'm a sucker for Casablanca fruit but who wouldn't be when it tastes this good and cost so little. The fermentation split is 70 per cent stainless steel (juice that sits on its lees for 8 months in tank) and 30 per cent spend an equal amount of time in French oak barrels. The nose is bright and fresh with melon/pineapple nose with undertones of green apple skin and bread dough. Extremely friendly on the palate with a crisp attractive pear fruit and pie crust flavours in the finish. As good as it gets for the price.Tasted: 29 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
