The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe citrus and tropical fruits, which harmonize beautifully with subtle hints of vanilla and toasty oak from its aging. With a well-rounded texture, the wine presents a medium level of dryness that enhances its food-friendliness, making it a perfect pairing for seafood dishes or creamy pasta. This 2012 vintage embodies the elegance and richness that Chardonnay enthusiasts seek, making it a remarkable choice for any occasion.

Valle Central
Valle Central

The expansive, warm flatlands of Chile's Valle Central are home to most of the country's vineyards. This long stretch of land from Santiago to Itata Valley is divided into four sub-regions, each with its own climate and reputation. There is Maipo Valley with its minty Cabernet Sauvignon, Rapel Valley with its spicy Carménère and the Curicó and Maule Valleys, famous for concentrated Carignan made from old vines. Throughout the valley—which is prized for its rich, volcanic soils—the hot days and cool nights result in ripe, well-balanced grapes. Some of the most common Valle Central wines are fruit-forward reds made from plummy Merlot and pear-flavored whites crafted from Chardonnay.
