Tasting - Aconga

Name: Aconga Chenin Blanc - Chardonnay
Variety: 80% Chenin Blanc 20% Chardonnay
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $3.99

Winery Review: Like the practiced artisans of Argentina, this wine has been expertly blended for ample flavors of bright melon and citrus fruit aromas of a crisp Chenin Blanc which are masterfully combined with sweet apple flavors and the silky texture of Chardonnay.  This rich and smooth wine truly enlightens the palate and pairs excellently with seafood and chicken dishes.

My Review: This was one of the first times I was actually able to pick out a specific taste that typically described this wine.  I really enjoyed the citrus taste of it.  It was sweet but not too sweet.  A great wine for what the price of it is.

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
