Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

On the nose, this bright Chardonnay has lemon and citrus aromas, along with ripe peach, sweet and tart apple, and hints of herbs.

It is full bodied and creamy on the palate and there are flavours of peach preserves, clementine, and lemon.

Tasted February 2018
From Concha Y Toro, Serie Riberas Gran Reserva (2016), a full-bodied and dry Chardonnay from the Colchagua Valley and a terrific value under $20. Lots of oak on this lemon zesty and textured Chardonnay. Pair with a pork tenderloin dish. - Community Wine Reviews
