El Esteco – Don David Chardonnay Reserve 2014 – Calchaqui Valley

White wine with a quite bright, intense colour. Pale straw with a green hue. The nose is showing mainly primary fruit. Very youthful with some notes of yellow fruit, a hint of pineapple, melon. No noticeable oak really. The palate has medium weight. Quite youthful and discreet fruit with some notes of apple and pear, with ripe lemon. No hints of oak. There is a slight phenolic compound, so a slight bitterness in the shape of lemon zest. Quite persistent. Light-bodied, but medium towards long finish. Balanced in a crisp and fresh style for early consumption.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
