Winner of the tasting. Nicely balanced Chard despite coming from cold 2013 vintage it has the most intense color and ripe fruit profile, in the nose the fruit is perfectly supported by higher acidity, which is nicely integrated, I would tend to say despite the wine being dry there must cca 6-7 grams of residual sugar to balance the high acidity. Case will go to my cellar as at this price point there is no excuse not to buy.
