I went down the chardonnay trail last night. Ot  maybe chardonnay tail. Despite the kangaroo or wallaby (?), this is Chilean. Cheap at the equivalent of $9.39 USD, but acceptable. It was a gift.

Really?  Does it say that on the label?

 

Yes. On the rear label. In Spanish, English, and Chinese.

Interesting:

Australia’s most widely exported wine brand Yellow Tail has unveiled a range specifically for the Chinese market but made in Chile to avoid China’s draconian tariffs on Australian wines.  

The wine, owned by Casella Family Brands  is being sourced from one of Chile’s biggest producers, Santa Carolina, and the range is to be named Yellow Tail World Series.  

 

 

So Yellow Tail basically slaps their label on Santa Carolina wines.

My first white malbec.  Very refreshing, tart.  Nice in this hot weather.

My local grocery had this marked down to $2.99 so I took a chance on it.  It's quite fruity which I like in this heat (105 today in Tucson!).

I'm a sucker for a funny or unique label.  Never had this variety before and must say it is excellent!  From Spain bought near my home in Mexico.  Mexico and Spain (and much of EU) have a very good import agreement; I pay way less here than in US for Spanish wines.  OTH, US wines carry a big premium here.  Luckily I prefer Spanish, Chilean, Argentine, Italian and MXN wines 🍷🍷
