A couple weeks ago I did a review of a wine from a relatively new wine brand, Motos Liberty Pinot Gigio. And today I’m checking out another wine from them, their Chardonnay. The Pinot Grigio I was not able to taste in a blind lineup, but this one was tasted blind — and qualitatively the two wines are similar. Of both wines I’d say they aren’t exceptional, but they are good value wines. There’s not a whole lot more background that I have to share (other than what’s in the previous review) so I’ll get right to the tasting notes.
This has a very light color for a Chardonnay. The nose is crisp and fresh smelling with apple, pear, lemon and a slight mineral. The palate starts with a crisp apple flavor and moves into a melon and citrus thing. It’s a little bit sweet on the finish. It could use a little more intensity in the aromas and concentration in the flavors, but overall this is a very fresh and refreshing Chardonnay.
