Manos Negras Chardonnay 2023

Manos Negras Chardonnay is appreciated for its balanced structure and refreshing acidity, featuring citrus and stone fruit flavors that make it a versatile everyday choice. While some praise its smooth finish and food pairing potential, others note inconsistencies in quality or complexity across vintages.

Displaying a pale straw hue, the Manos Negras Chardonnay opens with a bouquet of ripe stone fruits, notably white peach and apricot, interwoven with subtle floral notes and a hint of flinty minerality. On the palate, this wine showcases a harmonious balance of creamy texture and vibrant acidity, underscored by nuances of lemon curd and a whisper of toasted almond. The mid-palate reveals a deftly integrated oak influence, contributing to its complexity and depth. A lingering finish with a touch of saline minerality positions this Chardonnay as a refined expression of its terroir, ideal for pairing with rich seafood dishes.
