Two old school chums get together and the resulting conversation is suitably delightful. Very nice chardonnay / viognier blend, with the chardonnay smoothing out some of the minerality. Notes of apricot. Label recommends pairing with camembert or salmon and I wouldn’t disagree. Still a bit tart to drink on its own. I paired with mild pork and yellow rice dish, and it improved the dish dramatically. I haven’t been impressed with the wines coming out of the Valle del Maule region, but this one is very nice. (Although another Oveja Negra offering – a red carmenere / white sauvignon blanc blend – won 4 stars here, back in 2017.) Can’t beat the price, either.
