Cantina Tramin Glarea Chardonnay 2020 (JS 91)

James Suckling 91 points.
The toasted-baguette aroma leaps out of the glass at you, but there’s also plenty of Amalfi-lemon fruit and a touch of herbal freshness. At once rather juicy and creamy on the medium-bodied palate, some healthy tannins emerging at the generous and
slightly smoky finish. Just coming into its best. Drink or hold.


The name Glarea stems from Rhaeto-Romance language and means a pile of gravel, a clear reference to the composition of the soil in the vineyards.

WINERY NOTE:

Colour: Glarea is straw yellow with greenish hues.

Aroma and Taste: Ripe banana, apricot and pineapple dominate in the nose.

This Chardonnay tastes fresh and juicy and is characterised by fullness and a distinctive minerality.

Glarea is an all-rounder and can be paired with any first course that is savoury in flavour, from vegetable minestrone to spaghetti with clams. It tastes marvellous with tasty fish or delicate white meat dishes. Also try it with your pizza, especially if topped with buffalo mozzarella.
