Baettig Vino de Viñedo Los Parientes Chardonnay 2023

Description

A warmer vintage gives the wine a little more substances but arguably less tension, acidity and minerality than 2022. Still, this is an incisive chardonnay, showing seashell, lemon zest and iodine character. Just a touch of pie crust. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with fresh acidity and a mineral-driven finish. Delicious now but can hold. Score – 95. (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Feb. 9, 2024)
