Nose
This chardonnay has a light but complex smell intensity with primary aromas of: Citrus flavors, yellow ripe apples, tropical fruits notes like pineapple, passion fruit, apricot and hints of fennel. Secondary aromas like: buttery, slight hints of hazelnut, honey, vanilla and toast and it also has a discrete mineral background.

Palate
On the palate I get a fresh, dry, medium bodied chardonnay with no tannins and medium acidity. The freshness and lots of aromas from the nose comes true in the palate. Well balanced and good wood aromas comes to play here. The malolactic fermentation gives it that buttery creamy texture and mouthfeel. Its a well balanced and beautiful chardonnay.

Finish

Conclusion
This well balanced chardonnay from Spain, Somotano has lots to offer in complexity and freshness. The tropical fruits that comes with every sip makes you feel you are on holiday and drawn you back in for another sip. great wood maturation gives it his soft and elegant wood flavors. A beautifully done chardonnay if I may say so myself. Definitely would buy this again. Somontano is a region in Spain that lies on the foothills of the Pyrenees. Where it gets great sun and its beautiful minerals from. Somontano is also one of the youngest wine region of Spain.
