A Kosher Chilean Chardonnay:
Wine Reviewed
Terra Vega Chardonnay 2009 13.0% alcohol about $10
There were no marketing materials so let’s start by quoting the back label. Our Terra Vega is fresh and fruity with flavors of melon and tropical fruit. Ideal with chicken, seafood, and variety salads. And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was buttery with lemon and good acidity. Its oak was expanding. The initial meal started with barbecued chicken wings in a tomato sauce. The wine’s acidity intensified; it was somewhat sweet and I tasted white grapefruit. The meal continued with a honey-garlic barbecued chicken breast. The Chardonnay was powerful with bracing acidity, lemon, and caramel. When paired with green beans in tomato sauce it tasted as before but picked up a somewhat metallic taste. The side of commercially prepared potato salad with pickles imparted good length to the wine and lemon came to the fore.
