Tasting - Lobetia Chardonnay


The Vintage Cellar, 4/25/13

Name:  Lobetia Chardonnay
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region:  La Mancha
Country:  Spain
Year:  2011
Price:  $10.95
Public review:  "Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly.  Clean, bright color with a greenish-yellow tone.  On the nose, exotic fruits like pineapple.  Full flavored, fresh, with good acidity in the mouth, it finishes with tropical fruits."        
My review:  Fruity, tropical nose.  Pretty sweet at first, and then gets less so as it stays in the mouth.  Tastes like young grapes.  Aftertaste actually is a little bitter.  Not reminiscent of oak.  Not what I expected from a Chardonnay.
With food?:  No
Did buy?:  No
