Albamar
Casablanca, Chile
Filled with fruity acidity, this wine is a taste of Pacific delight
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Albamar
Chardonnay
Chile’s Casablanca Valley has become renowned for its exceptional white wines, which is a fitting achievement for a region serendipitously named the “white house”. Thanks in large part to its climate the valley is ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes. As a region located well south of the equator, one might not think that wines used to cool climates could thrive. Yet, the Casablanca Valley is blessed by the cooling impacts of Pacific sea breezes and cold oceanic fogs, which shelter the grapes from the heat, allowing them to mature with astonishing results.

WINE REGION:
Casablanca
Of all the wine regions in all the countries in all the world, Chile's Casablanca Valley has carved out a reputation for producing some of the finest white wines on the continent. Lying northwest of Santiago and just 18 miles from the Pacific coast, the region remains consistently cool throughout its long, sunny growing season. This helps create ideal conditions for Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to develop their fresh aromatics and crisp, elegant complexities without becoming too lush. Indeed, Casablanca's Mediterranean-like conditions provide a marvelous setting for Riesling, Viognier and Gewürztraminer as well, making exceptional varietal wines with an Old World character.
