WINE DESCRIPTION
Casa Madero Gran Reserva Chardonnay is a medium bodied, buttery, oaked white wine with notes of stone and tropical fruit for drinking over the medium term. The wine is made by Casa Madero, the oldest winery in the Americas, being founded before 1600. Made from 100% Chardonnay this is a precise style of wine made with modern techniques, which have seen the winery win the highest number of awards in Mexican history. With medium intensity of tropical fruit notes like guava and well integrated vanillin oak, this makes a good pairing with Mexican and Tex-Mex food with a little heat. It is also a good choice for those who love trying wines from different parts of the world.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Casa Madero Gran Reserva Chardonnay shows a medium intensity golden hue in the glass.On the nose, the notes of hazelnut, freshly churned butter, and vanilla, in addition to guava fruit are both alluring and a give-away that this is unboubtably Chardonnay. The palate is dry with a medium body with a layered texture, which shows an delicate balance with the fresh acidity. The finish is moderate in length but pleasingly complex. Try with cheese laden Mexican food or white mould cheeses such as Brie.
