  Serviceable friendly oaked chardonnay. Mild brackishness, what I think of as the signature of Chardonnay (also in mourvedre rose), peach, lychee - not much apple here, round mouthfeel from alcohol & glycerine, and a sweet note that feels more glycerine than sugar. Vaguely reminiscent of a gewurztraminer. Acidity is enough to balance it but it's not mouthwatering. Oak is reasonably subtle. At 14.5% it's not light drinking, but the wine is round enough to drink on its own.

  Very ripe and broad. There is a hint of freshness that is drowned out by the very strong alcohol (14.5%).
  I like Enate's reds but this wasn't for me.

  Muy intenso en aroma, con mucha fruta tropical en aroma como papaya y mango.
  En boca es seco, pero sigue teniendo frutas tropicales. Ligero y agradable, compensado. Intenso pero algo corto.
