The unoaked 2019 Chardonnay 234 has unusual notes of jasmine and Moscatel pulp that make me think of an aromatic grape variety other than Chardonnay. It has a bittersweet palate with flavors reminiscent of a Gewurztraminer and a definitely sweet finish. Not what I expected from the label. They produce more than 400,000 bottles of this.

Hard and unbalanced on the nose, with mealy, feral aromas. The palate is flat in feel, with sweet, mealy flavors of generic citrus. Not impressive; does little for the reputation of Spain’s Chardonnay.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 81
