Trumpeter Reserve Chardonnay 75cl
★★★★ 4.0 (1 review)Pour this cold and the first sip does two things at once. There's a zing of fresh lemon and pineapple that wakes you up, then a soft, creamy roll across the tongue that says relax. It's the white you want when the day's been long and you'd like something with a bit of glamour but zero fuss. Friends coming over, a quiet balcony evening, a Friday that earned a treat. This one shows up dressed nicely and gets the night going.
Stick your nose in the glass and you get fresh citrus, pineapple, and a slice of green apple and pear, with a faint floral lift behind it. The oak is light-handed, so instead of woodiness you get a whisper of vanilla and coconut. On the palate it's the fun part: lively, juicy acidity keeps it bright and mouth-watering, while a rounded, creamy texture stops it ever feeling thin. Lemony and zippy at the start, smooth and a touch buttery on the finish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Rutini Wines in Mendoza, Argentina, a winery that's been at it since 1885 when Italian immigrant Felipe Rutini planted roots at the foot of the Andes. Mendoza is high-altitude desert wine country, where hot days and cold mountain nights let the grapes ripen fully while keeping that fresh acidity. Trumpeter is Rutini's export-facing Reserve line, made from quality vines with a measured touch of French and American oak. Serious pedigree, easy-going attitude.
