Serbal, Chardonnay (unoaked) 2017/18

Aromas of pineapple, gooseberries and guava dominate. A palate of passionfruit and gooseberry with a zesty lime backbone.

Attractive bright yellow with green stroke pale hints. Intense and elegant style with fresh tropical fruit, such as mango, green melon and peach. Mineral notes and touches of flowers. Aromatic structure and acidity interact to create an appealing palate combined with a light body typical from the variety.

This pale yellow Chardonnay stands out for the intensity of its aromas of tropical fruits and apples. The acidity is well balanced on the palate and the overall result is light, fresh, crisp and fruity Chardonnay.

This super-smart Argentinian take on the Bordeaux white blend from top producer Susana Balbo mixes in a little of the aromatic Torrontés grape variety, bringing flavours of tangy grapefruit, guava and minerals, and a superb length and depth. 33% each of Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are separately barrel fermented then blended and rested in those barrels for a further 4 months. The oak is delicate, the fruit is complex and explosive, run through with delicious acidity, steely and nervous, and we suspect this wine will age very well indeed, if it lasts that long. The grapes are from the Uco Valley, naturally.
