VIÑA MAR DE CASABLANCA RESERVA CHARDONNAY D.O. VALLE DE CASABLANCA PRODUCIDO Y EMBOTELLADO POR VIÑA MAR S.A. CAMINO INTERIOR NUEVO MUNDO S/N, KM 72, RUTA 68, CASABLANCA PART OF SOUTHERN SUN WINE GROUP 2007 14%
VISUAL ANALYSIS: cristal clear, straw yellow, quite thick
OLFACTORY ANALYSIS : fruity(white fig, half-ripe banana, candied fruit), herbaceous, distinct scents(crystallized sugar, green wood), flowery(wild flowers); at the olfactory analysis, we perceive a strong presence of wood highlighting the sweet tendency of the barrique
GUSTATIVE ANALYSIS : at the gustative analysis, it demonstrates a good structure which is not typological as regards a chardonnay, even if a chardonnay coming from the New World; the palatable final is with lemon
WINE-FOOD COMBINATION: half-ripe cheese
MY PERSONAL OPINION: at the nose is sociable and at the mouth is heavy, then it is necessary to find the ideal matching; it could be a half-ripe cheese with a good velvety capable of counterbalance the acidty of the wine. The combination gives you a harmonic taste which reminds us the Caribbean flavour of coconut milk.
