2007 Frontera Chardonnay

2007 Frontera Chardonnay - $4 Chile. The Frontera line is Concha y Toro's value label and most of the wines are produced and bottled by the winery, which means not only do they make the wine but they also grow the grapes. This is significant because most labels at this price point just purchase grapes or the juice itself. This chardonnay is a very light pale straw color, almost looks like a sauvignon blanc. The nose is very light with aromas of citrus. The palate is also light and citrus, lemoney. This is a very light chardonnay, it would be best to have this wine on a really hot day in the summer when all you can drink is a light white wine. This wine tastes like a cheap $4 wine, that being said it's not that bad, I've had worse for $5. This wine is good for the summertime heat or a party where no one is paying attention to the wine. This wine can be found in most grocery stores.

I've also tried the 2007 Frontera Carmenere and I think that wine is one of the best wine values I've ever come across. If I was to try another Frontera white it would be the Sauvignon Blanc, someone told me it was good for the money.
