Golan Heights Winery, Yarden Chardonnay, Golan Heights

Buttery, creamy and ripe but retaining good balance. I quite enjoyed it despite the wine being simple on the palate.

Nice Chardonnay that is not too heavy on the oak. M- body, M+ acidity. Surprising and pleasant palette of tropical fruits

Good with reminders of tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. A bit too oaky and creamy.

Not my cup of tea or lamp of oil. It was lot more traditional take on Chardonnay, closer to California than to French, which is what I was expecting after tasting some amazing renditions from their other lines.

Quite ballanced, no fat fruit. Clear oak. Quite good qualuty for the price.

Nice clear yellow color, on the intense side. Medium acidity. Medium body. Mildly aromatic, citrus, lemon, grapefruit, green apple, grass. Same on the palate with the addition of vanilla, butter, and minerals.

Full body, bright golden color. Intense aroma of bone fruits complemented by acacia flowers and oak background. Complex palate of pears and citrus following by nutty, mineral but soft and creamy finish of good length. Powerful but balanced ripe apples’ acidity, too oily and slightly alcoholic but food friendly. Enjoyable with shrimps or St. Maure cheese and Mediterranean salad. Serve 12ºC - 14ºC. Requires aeration, open one hour ahead. Drink now and next four/five years.
