Lidl, Chardonnay Reserva Especial, Colchagua, Chile, 2021

This very 'New World' in style Chardonnay is fairly punchy in alcohol, and offers a vanilla cream oak influence – as opposed to toasty. Rounded and buttery with melon fruit flavours, it's a fairly old-school and commercial wine, but it's a style that remains popular with many drinkers.
