The Wine:
The latest
edition of the popular Las Patolitas Chardonnay continues to
emphasize fruit over oak. Bright aromas of pear, peach and Muscat
are touched by a hint of spice. In the mouth delicious tree fruits,
such as honeycrisp apple, citrus and pear emerge with a hint of the
vanillin, toast and pie spice derived from good French Oak. The
texture is smooth with a generous mouthfeel and crisp finish.
Serve
with:
As an aperitif or with flavorful poultry, pork or seafood, this
Chardonnay is a pleasure to drink.
