Los Graneros from Chile, Cachapoal and Colchagua Valleys

This is not bad at all as an emulation of nice Chablis. A very well considered attempt has been made to create a fresh and lively chardonnay with light oak, good ripe fruit, and a gentle pithy finish, which with some auto-suggestion, gives the impression of a pink gratefruit ending. Decent lenght for the money.

Very pale chartreuse, upfront flavours, very adequate acidity, ripe cox apples (but not orange pippin), yellow melon, ripe grapefruit (not simple lemony which is great).

I may have given this wine a Good, had it not been for the sulphites than ran out of the bottle as I lowered my nose, immediately after pulling the cork. The sulphites do leave fairly quickly, but I would have preferred that they were not there, or noticable at all. Sulphites do curtail further and meaningful bottle development.

For £6.49, a very decent bottle of wine, quite moreish, best served at just above SB temp.
