Tasting - Lobetia Chardonnay

Name: Lobetia

Variety: Chardonnay

Region: La Mancha

Country: Spain

Year: 2011

Price: $9.95

Shop's Notes: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. Clean, bright color with a greenish-yellow tone. On the nose, exotic fruits like pineapple. Full flavored, fresh, with good acidity in the mouth, it finishes with tropical fruits.

I got a little bit of cat pee coming through on the nose, not very strong but just a hint. It was citrusy on the nose, and maybe like a sour plum component. It also had some of that unripe plum taste on the palate. It was very fruity and tart. Great summer chilled wine.
