Wine name: Las Estrellas Chardonnay. Producer: V.E.S.A.. Vintage: 2009. Appearance pale yellow Chardonnay colour with a little oak, fresh English apples aromatics. The attack is soft yet quite full-on and juicy. Evolution: The oak really comes through but doesn't ruin the wine. It's clearly New World, and the extraction is a little intense for my taste with a finish which is apples in nose, lemon oil on swallow. Sweetness: 1.5. Acidity: 3.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is thick water and the length is excellent. As for balance, it's a little over-acidic, but nicely rich to balance. The wine has a screw cap closure and is 13.5% abv. Overall, this wine is quite nice for a New World Chardonnay, but not a patch on a nice white Burgundy. Went quite well with left-over roast pork. My score is 80 points.
