Oveja Negra
Maule Valley DO, Chile
A hand harvested Chardonnay from the Maule Valley in Chile
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Oveja Negra
Chardonnay-Viognier
Oveja Negra has a commitment to quality and going against the grain. Even from the name “Black Sheep” you can tell that they have the drive to be different and innovative. Their wines are fruit-driven blends with flavor intensity and concentration. To ensure that they are getting the best flavors they make sure to handpick the grapes in the early morning before the sun heats up too much and makes the grapes more bitter. The Chardonnay-Viognier blend is a clean, golden color with tropical aromas. Tastes of apricot burst through as the Viognier makes itself known in the blend. The wine is incredibly refreshing on the palate and has a long and silky finish.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to CT, GA, IL, MD, MI, OH, PA, SD, TX.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Maule Valley DO
When it comes to well-balanced reds of great value, Chile's Maule Valley is hard to beat. The southernmost part of Chile's Central Valley, Maule is a large sub-region with many microclimates and soil types. The Maule River and the nearby Pacific Ocean both greatly influence its climate. Maule was one of the first places in Chile planted with grapevines. It is famed today for its 100-year-old Carignan vines and the densely sumptuous wines they produce. More typical, however, are its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy aromatic Carménère and plush Merlot reds. For whites, check out Maule's cheery Sauvignon Blanc and rounded Chardonnay. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85 percent of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.

TASTING NOTES:
Tropical Fruit
White Flowers
Peach
Clean golden yellow in color with tropical aromas from the Chardonnay as well as floral notes and apricot aromas from the Viognier. The palate is very refreshing with well-balanced acidity and a sense of sweetness that prolongs a silky finish with good harmony between the palate and the nose.
