Robert Parker

(2013 vintage notes)

Unlike the classic Chardonnay cuvée, Antiguas Reservas is partially fermented in new barrels and aged in these same barrels for 6 months. The remainder of the harvest is vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks to emphasize the grape variety's natural fruitiness. Initially restrained, it then reveals a subtle woodiness, with notes of fresh coconut.
