Touchstone Chardonnay
Typical character of the Chardonnay grape variety, this inexpensive yet enormously appealing wine is packed to the brim with melon, apple and hints of tropical fruits. Medium bodied and with well balanced acidity that keeps the fruit character fresh, this is text-book Chardonnay. Excellent value!

This herbaceousness continues to the vividly fruity palate ... Good/Very Good" (2002 vintage) Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, July 2003.

DO Cava Can Vendrell - Albert i Noya Reference : W12
