A clean, bright greenish-yellow colour, this wine has an fresh and fruity nose marked by ripe white fruits, citrus notes and salinity due to its proximity to the sea. The palate is refreshing and silky with tremendous body, very good balance, and a vibrant acidity that gives way to a lingering, intense, and enjoyable finish.
The Gran Reserva 2015 is made using grapes from a vineyard located in the Litueche. Viticulture in the area is possible largely because of the oceanic influence where warm summer days, cool night combined with sea breezes and fog ensure the grapes develop slowly attaining full ripeness.
The grapes of this impressive Chardonnay, made for the second time in 2015, come from a site at 330 metres in the Cordillera de la Costa. Crunchy, fresh and very lightly oaked, it has flavours of citrus and oatmeal and a tangy, refreshing aftertaste.
