All wines from Chile have been of interest to me lately and this one caught my eye. Maybe it was the nice label with the unique layered look. This chardonnay reminded me why I like to try cheap wines and restored my hope in the cheap chardonnay. For me, this is the perfect cheap chardonnay and is the best chardonnay under $20 that I have tried this year (and its under $10!).
The Anakena Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel tanks, no oak used here. It has a 13.9% alcohol level.
This wine is crisp and has great fresh fruit. Its very smooth and well balanced with flavors of melon, grapefruit and apricot. The finish has a very slight flavor of butter on it but it is only noticeable when tasted at slightly warmer temperatures. Great wine.
