Vintage Cellar Review: From the winery formerly known as Finca El Reposo comes this blend of 90+ year old Chardonnay and the almost extinct grape Saint Jeannet. Saint Jeannet originated in the South of France, but is now thought to exist only at this one vineyard in Argentina. Made very naturally from organically farmed grapes with almost noghting aded later, wild yeast fermentation and no oak. Only 3,000 bottles of this wine are made each year, compared to around 420,000 bottles of Lafite Rothschild. Maybe we should charge more?
My Personal Wine Review: The color of the white wine had a hint of yellow to it while the smell did not represent the color at all. I received an aroma of little fruit, but mainly an odd smell of soap. Weird right. However, the tasting had a dominant flavor of white grape. This taste of white grape was so intense it reminded me of grape juice.
I did not have food with this wine.
