Wine Tasting: Clara Benegas Chardonnay



Name: Clara Benegas
Varietal: Chardonnay
Region: Mendozza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2016
Price: $8.95
Review:"A crisp, unoaked chardonnay with a hint of Sauvignon Blanc coming from the cold region of Mendoza in the Uco Valley. Clear and bright with greenish hues. On the nose it is fragrant and elegant with fresh citrus aromas as well as fruit such as passion fruit, pineapple and white pear. Soft on the mouth with gentle acidity and a marked, pleasant aftertaste. Enjoy with seafood dishes, white meats or simply as an aperitif."
My Review: This wine has a lemon scent as well as a granny smith apple and pear aroma. I was surprised with how dry the wine was and the flavor reminded me of a tart sour green apple. I did not try this wine with food.
