Nestled in the shadow of the Andes, the Argentine vineyards provide a wonderful environment for grape growing with warm days, cool nights, a dry climate but plenty of access to water. The high elevation Luján de Cuyo district is noted for high quality reds and whites. At 3000+ feet in elevation, the warm days, cool nights and well-drained alluvial soils all combine to yield wines of balance and finesse. The 2006 Los Cardos Chardonnay is fresh and delicious with a fine balance of fruit and oak characteristics that make it a joy to drink on its own as well as a superb food companion.

The bouquet of the Los Cardos is classic Chardonnay - rich with apple, pineapple and buttery scents backed by hints of flowers, vanilla and spice. On the palate, it is round and ripe with a greater depth of fruit than one expects from such an affordable bottling. The lovely combination of ripe apple, pineapple, vanilla and cream flavors that makes Chardonnay a worldwide favorite is clearly evident in the 2006 Los Cardos bottling.

With such an opulent and sensual style, this Chardonnay is an excellent choice to pair with most any chicken, game hen or other fowl recipe. It has enough crispness to pair with a wide range of seafood dishes as well. It is an especially good match for grilled fish and shellfish. When a Chardonnay is this good and this affordable, it's sure to sell rapidly. Enjoy delicious Chardonnay at a GREAT PRICE. Stock up on the 2006 Los Cardos Chardonnay.
