Region
Wines of Chile continue the legacy of Spanish wine culture in the 'New World'. The rugged and wild landscapes, with the currents of the Pacific to one side and the Andean slopes to the other, allow excellent climatic conditions for the cultivation of varieties brought from the Old World: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay which prosper with indigenous grapes like Carmenere.
Tasting Notes
Pale lemon in colour with fruity aromas. The palate has zesty citrus and yellow melon notes with a lovely richness and weight.
Food Pairing
The perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood, sushi, sashimi and creamy cheeses.
Valle
The grapes hail from Aconcagua Valley one of the country’s premier wine regions. With a Mediterranean-like climate - hot, dry summers and mild, brief winters - the area benefits from the cooling effects of the nearby ocean. Morning fogs ensure slow, even ripening, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and complexity.
Technical Information
The grapes are harvested at just the right moment to bring out the full potential of the renowned Aconcagua Valley Chardonnay. After destemming and gentle maceration of the must with its skins at a low temperature, the wine undergoes cold fermentation at below 13° for more than 20 days. The wine is then left in contact with its fine lees for 60 days to round out the palate.
