Tasting- El Viejo del Valle Chardonnay

 

Name: El Viejo del Valle Chardonnay


Variety: Chardonnay


Region: Maule (Central Valley), Chile


Year: 2019


Price: $7.95


Shop Review: Fresh and tasty cool-climate Chilean Chardonnay. Sourced from old vines grown on volcanic soil. A clean crisp chardonnay that is more old world in style than new world


Wine Folly: pg 96 Chardonnay- Flavors described include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, and butter 

This wine was an average-tasting chardonnay. It had an average acidity flavor from the pineapple and starfruit. It was not a buttery chardonnay.


Personal Review: This wine was not oaked, so it lacked a level of complexity. It was incredibly grassy and that flavor came out. It had slight acidity and body. Overall I would not pick this brand of chardonnay and would get a better kind.
