Errázuriz Chardonnay, Aconcagua Costa

Made from 100% cool-climate Chardonnay grown in the Manzanar vineyard, 7.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Hand-picked grapes are whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel using a number of yeast strains including native yeasts. About half the blend went through a malolactic fermentation and the final wine was fine-lees aged in French oak barrels for ten months. Lively aromas of lemon zest and lime blossom with hints of crisp pear and white flowers. The palate is heightened by a driving minerality and vibrant acidity that carries through on the finish.

About the Wine

Chardonnay

Shar-doe-nay

Chardonnay can produce quality wines in a wide range of climates, with a real varied style. In cool climates like Champagne or Chablis it produces a lean steely wine with pronounced acidity. In warmer climates it develops buttery, honey notes whereas hotter climates, it's richer in body with the flavour of tropical fruits.

Flavours:

Butter
Green Apple
Minerals
Pineapple
Vanilla

The Country

Chile

A viticultural paradise, where vines were introduced by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. A long, narrow country stretching 800 miles from the deserts of the north to the glacial south and it's these valleys and coasts that give the wine its variety.
