Don Manuel
Marimar Estate (Marimar Torres)
Don Miguel Vineyard La Masia Chardonnay 2018
La masía translates as "the farmhouse," which Marimar Estate was designed to resemble. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits, dried herbs and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with toasty notes and herb cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine soft textured tannins, long finish ending with juicy fruit and spicy herb character. Nice! — 4 months ago

Expressive, floral, punchy!
What a nose!! Starts with some nice reduction but when it blows off, this just is amazing. Switching from floral and exotic aromas of fleur d’orange, candied citrus, candied ginger and ripe cantaloupe to salty, naked stones. And back. Amazing purity & freshness. So enticing!!
On the palate this is a thin layer of exotic citrus fruit on stony minerality. Juicy acidity, salty freshness, mineral depth. Such precision here. And depth.
What a discovery! This is brilliant stuff!! — 9 days ago
