Roes Chardonnay 2018, Oinotropai Winery

Roes Chardonnay 2018, Oinotropai Winery

Date Tasted: 5/2020

It is a chardonnay from Messenia that tastes like Californian if you close your eyes. 

Appearance: Medium lemon-green colour.

Nose: Medium aromatic intensity full of tropical fruits, grass, vanilla and brioche.

Palate: It is buttery with peach and tropical fruits as well. It has moderate acidity, medium body, and the alcohol is well-defined. The oaky notes do not cover the fruit and end up in a long enough aftertaste.  

Drink: Pleasant now but with developing potential for the next few years. 

Food Pairing: It can be paired well with both pork and artichokes.
