Alcohol: 13%

Sweetness: Dry

Drink: 2010-2013

Winery: Torres

Reviewed October 2, 2010

Score: 88/100

Tasting Note: Vintages Wine Panel: Torres adds a dollop of the indigenous Parellada grape to their Chardonnay. The Parellada contributes a nice crisp punch to this round and generous Chard. Torres’ eco initiatives (e.g., the use of lightweight bottles) have garnered them green awards. My note: Wonderfully balanced and tasty! Aromas of green apples, peach, butterscotch and smoke. Nicely balanced. Perfect for Sunday dinner of roast chicken. A steal at this price.

Food matches: planked or smoked salmon, roast chicken

More pairings: bison steak, broccoli mornay, ham, leeks, pizza: seafood, sauce: cheese: mornay, alfredo, swiss: baby. More pairings...
