Chardonnay Barrique 2010 Nachbil (Romania)

Producer: Nachbil (Weingut Brutler&Lieb)

Origin: Dealurile Satmarului, Romania (north-west)

Type: White, Dry, 13,5%

Grape: Chardonnay

Tasting Notes: Yellow gold with light green hue. Vanilla bean aromatics, musk, honeycomb, nuts, mellon, with heavy, creamy, yet crisp taste, reminding of sweet apple, compote mandarine, also lime, with an intersting, pepery finish, a happy blend of acidity, alcool level and the spiciness of barrique.

Other: Barrel fermented. One piece wine, powerful and big, with rigid, seemingly unbreakable structure.  Some years could add extra complexity. Price: 12 euro.
