Ugni blanc

The wine today is no longer in my rack…

I drank it on Saturday to celebrate the Argentine game against Iran in the FIFA World Cup…

Ugni Blanc Chardonnay 2013 from Viñas de Balbo, Mendoza, Argentina.

“This generic wine is obtained from the harmonic combination of Ugni Blanc and Chardonnay varieties which gives this wine a delicate yellow color with hints of green, a subtle and persistent aroma and a particular soft and fruity flavor. It goes well with white meats, soft cheese, fish and seafood.” – Don Cano Wines

Although I drank it with weinerschnitzel, boiled minted potatoes and cauliflower with cheese sauce…

Good price, went down a treat, looking for more.

The Mendoza region in northwest Argentina produces many great wines. Here’s a good guide to northwest wines: Grape Travel

My rating: Definitely not plonk.
