Shabo Reserve Chardonnay 2022 (750ml) Japan

Shabo Reserve Chardonnay 2022 (750ml) JapanMany a self respecting (large) winery makes a wood aged Chardonnay. After all, quite a few people like that. Our tip: Taste that wine, then you immediately know what kind of pulp you have in the tub and what you can expect from the winemaker. This Chardonnay from Shabo has a modest wood aging. Toast and vanilla on the nose and on the tongue, without pushing the yellow fruit of apple and plums into the background. Neatly made Chardonnay. Colors neatly

opening towards intense fruit with herbs & spices

but that slim and buttoned-down backbone supports a broad range of flavors and sensations

The fog speaks

The relatively discreet first nose displays aromas of black fruit

it works with anything fried and fatty but also the entire BBQ menu - chips

The wine expands fully over the palate thanks to its soft texture and tannins

the current generation has named its latest enterprise in honor of 19th-century matriarch

aromas of cocoa

The palate continues on the fruit-forward trajectory
