Escorihuela 1884 Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2022

Mendoza, ArgentinaThis opens with a hint of reduction, which subsides to reveal soft pear, yellow apple, and lemon that's framed by restrained oak spice. It's brisk and tart, with a broad palate that lacks the precision found in many Mendoza chardonnays of a similar price point, leading to a moderate, sapid finish. The fruit comes from Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo and is aged 12 months in French oak.Tasted: 29 March 2024Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
