White Wine

2012 Maule Valley Chardonnay

The Balduzzi White Wine, a delightful Chardonnay from the picturesque Maule Valley, exudes a bright and inviting character. This vintage 2012 radiates a lovely pale yellow hue, hinting at its refreshing profile. With a medium body, it showcases a perfect balance of creaminess and crispness that envelops the palate in a truly enjoyable experience. The acidity is vibrantly pronounced, bringing a mouthwatering lift that enhances its fruity notes. On the nose, expect enchanting aromas of ripe stone fruits, like peach and pear, mingled with subtle hints of citrus. The wine’s dryness complements its flavor profile effortlessly, making it an excellent choice for a variety of occasions, whether paired with light seafood dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. The Balduzzi White Wine is a charming representation of Chardonnay that captures the essence of the Maule Valley’s terroir.

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.
