Wine Tasting - Mars & Venus Chardonnay



Name:  Mars & Venus
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region:  La Mancha
Country:  Spain
Year:  2014
Price:  $6
Winery review:  A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.
Additional winemaker notes:  I took home a bottle of this wine.  Very fruity, apple-y, apple juice, and stone fruit.  Not overly buttery, as is often associated with oaked Chardonnays.  I did not try this wine with food.
