The vintage
A rainy winter gave way to a cool spring where the maximum temperatures never raised over 26°C. Rain showed up only and briefly at the beginning of summer, along with some unusual cool temperatures, that made this season, without any doubt, the freshest to date. A round the clock surveillance, tasting the grapes, checking their maturity was necessary to find out the best vintage date.
Picking started on March 2 and finished on the 31st of the same month. The important contrast in age and origins of this vineyard, give us the chance to harvest in batches looking to have different elements in the blend. The early harvested grapes provide freshness and acidity, while the grapes picked towards the end of the period bring complexity and volume.

Varietal
Chardonnay : 100%
Tasting
Crystal-bright pale-golden colour with blonde hues. The nose has some expressive notes of banana and custard apple, our local and beloved “chirimoya,” joined by notes of dried fruits and hints of citrus. The palate is silky and lingering with both volume and freshness that makes this wine a juicy and well-balanced example. A versatile example of crisp and delicate Chardonnay, perfect for a baked Chilean Salmon.
