Simple, indistinct, and artificial Chardonnay. I think I’m starting to understand the natural wine movement a bit more if this is the conventional style they are 'fighting' against. Look, it’s not awful or bad; it’s just bland. Some blossoms and fruits try to emerge from the glass, but the vanilla and oak notes are overpowering. The palate is similarly affected—the texture and flavours feel too artificial and overwhelming. Luckily, not all conventional wine is like this.

Elusive and indistinct Chardonnay. It offers only fruit tree blossoms (nice!) and nothing more (not nice). Good acidity. Simple table wine with little to no character. I would still go with Chizay, but happy to see alternatives in this price range.
