Tasting notes
The 2009 Chardonnay Sol is a fat, bold wine packed with fruit. Despite the extroverted style, the Chardonnay Sol never loses its essential minerality. This is another winner from Ronco del Gnemiz.

The 2009 Chardonnay Sol lacks energy and freshness, which can be attributed to the heat of the vintage and aging in oak. Apricots, peaches, flowers and spices are layered into the finish. The warmth of the vintage seems to have penalized the wine's length most of all.
