Zuccardi Q, Chardonnay 2010, quite balanced and attractive white from Tupungato Valley, high Mendoza



Zuccardi Q ,Chardonnay 2010, By Familia Zuccardi, USD 22
A char from Tupungato Valley (parto of Uco Valley), Mendoza.
Beautiful and balanced chard with floral ,fruity and a pinch of citric aromas nothworthy from the very beginning. Nice peach and pineapple sweet and ripe. Balancing acidity that seems to make brighter the tannins. Appropiate toasty and buttery envelope. The tannins also show a nice bitterness quite balancing too. I picked up a hint of soft herbal greens like mint or closer to wild thyme sprouts at the same low level of citrics. A 90 points Chardonnay and a great value too. Better before 4 years old.
