Wine Review: This Chardonnay from Chile opens with a butterscotch and light oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a vanilla oak and butter blend with notes of lemon custard. The finish is dry and it is pleasant. If you like oak influenced Chard, you will like this one. Pair it with Chicken St. Timothy. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Brilliant light yellow in color, Maycas Chardonnay offers great citrus aromas mixed with notes of toasted almond and hazelnut leading to a distinct minerality. Full-bodied, this wine offers great freshness and density. Citrus flavors echo on the palate and end with a crisp and persistent finish. Enjoy with seafood and poultry dishes. Marries well with salmon, oysters, shrimp, and is excellent with rich sauces.
