Rubus Chardonnay 2020 Review

This is a very refreshing Chardonnay that smells like beeswax and candied fruit in yogurt. It has a good balance on the palate with grippy acidity and a good concentration of fruit. This is not a very complex wine, but works wonders as a go-to for casual occasions. It’s a very refreshing wine and shows how wines from the Colchagua Valley in Chile can produce good quality to value beyond the more expensive offerings. The wine is very refreshing.
