Shop Review: From the winery formerly known as Finca
El Reposo comes this blend of 90+ year old Chardonnay and the almost extinct
grape Saint Jeannet. Saint Jeannet
originated in the South of France, but is now though to exist only at this one
vineyard in Argentina. Made very
naturally from organically farmed grapes with almost nothing added later, wild
yeast fermentation and no oak. Only 3,000
bottles of this wine are made each year, compared to around 420,000 bottles of
Lafite Rothschild. Maybe we should
charge more?
My Review: This
golden wine had an apricot pear nose. It
is very, simple, light and refreshing with a slightly sweet apricot pear
taste. You should snatch this up before
the small quantity runs out!
I had this wine
alone without any food.
