Tasting - Lobetia Chardonnay

• Lobetia Chardonnay (Organic)
• Chardonnay
• Las Pedroneras (Cuenca)/La Mancha
• Spain
• 2011
• $10.95
• Could not find a wine score but Paul Clear on southtampa.patch.com gave it a 4 out of 5 stars, saying it over-delivers for the price charged.
• Overall this Chardonnay was very average compared to others I had. The bouquet said it all when I noticed no distinct fruit from the aroma, most likely a tropical fruit such as pineapple. the other scents were very discrete and I might have discovered a hint of some weak herb but could not tell for sure. The taste offered little as well, and I got an initial warm heat from the alcohol, and a sharp and steely pineapple flaver that I discovered earlier. There was also no buttery taste from a classic chardonnay, but there was a hint of green, possibly fresh cut grass taste as well. In summary, I was not impressed by lack of complexity in this wine.
• I did not have food but if I did I would have tried fish with it.
