Tasting Argentinian Wines at WineStyles, Columbia, SC. (WineStyles Columbia, SC): Not exactly my favorite style of Chardonnay, but probably a decent rendition of what they intended to express. This is very crisp for a Chardonnay. So crisp, that the acid drowns out the softer fruit flavors. The overall impression is very dry acid. There is some subdued fruit, especially lemon, with just a touch of honey. Pretty light viscosity for a Chardonnay. We don't feel much influence from the lees. They tried not to make it creamy. Doubt there is little or any oak, or malolactic fermentation. Does a great job of keeping the palate cleansed.
