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
Rich and smooth, this wine offers tropical fruit aromas like ripe banana and pineapple, accented by vanilla. Enjoy its floral notes and balanced acidity with salads and seafood.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with mild cheeses, roasted vegetables, mild stews and blue fish.
Technical Information
Grapes are harvested when they are at just the right point of maturity to express the full potential of the famous Chardonnay grapes of the Aconcagua Valley. After destemming, grapes are cooled down (below 13º for more than 20 days) to prevent fermentation from starting too soon and enhance fruit concentration. The wine remains in contact with fine lees for 60 days to enhance its body and flavour.
