Chardonnay

Viña Los Vascos
At Los Vascos cultivation is at our heart; we cultivate not only vineyards but our dream to transform our vast land into a fruitful eco-system producing the most elegant Chilean wines. We are free spirited but remember our heritage. Our holistic approach encompasses and protects all - from our short-legged sheep clearing weeds without devouring precious grapes to our artisans honing hand-made knives to carefully tend the vines. We embody the Chilean paradox, meticulous in our work, easy going and warm in our personality. We are independent yet proud to cultivate our community because we are stronger and happier together.

The vintage
The beginning of the season was dryer than usual, requiring early irrigation and close monitoring of the vines. A standard spring without frost allowed bud break to go smoothly. The biggest challenge this season were the extremely high temperatures of late January and early February (with a peak of 40.6º C). Consequently, the harvest was carried out 9 days earlier compared to the previous season to preserve the balance of the grapes between great aromatic expression and acidity levels.
Varietal
Chardonnay : 100%

Tasting
The robe is bright yellow. Very expressive and fruity on the nose with aromas of honeydew melon, cherimoya and physalis, with undertones of zucchini and squash. The wine is very well-balanced with a nice creaminess on the palate.
