AMELIA CHARDONNAY 2005 AMELIA CHARDONNAY 2005

This is Concha y Toro's top level Chardonnay and it displays a rich, ripe tropical fruit character paired with an acidity that keeps the wine interesting and fresh. The wine would make a great match with well seasoned fish and spicy Thai or Asian food. 90 Points from Robert Parker.
