Screams pizza on a Tuesday

I love the racy acid lines and distinct flavour profile that outstanding Chardonnay brings

with insanely balanced acidity cutting through citrus and orchard fruit flavours

Two separate parcels joining forces here - one from Adelaide Hills with 50% whole bunches and one from McLaren Vale done 100% carbonic whole bunch

Veronica Ortega, Cobrana 2021 Chardonnay Screams pizza on a TuesdayPlace: Bierzo, Spain Grape: Menca + Doa Blanca + Godello + Palomino etc etc Vibe: Light n bright 75% Menca with the balance made up of various indigenous white varieties, from 90 year old vineyards that were traditionally co planted with red and white grapes. That, plus the fact the vineyards are planted at 750m altitude and super gentle extraction in the winery means this is about as fresh a Spanish red as you can find. Seriously, find a fresher one,
