Description
In a nutshell:
Fancy the elegance of a white Burgundy but without the scary price tag? This Chilean Chardonnay offers a touch of oak, bright freshness, and a lingering, sophisticated finish.
The lowdown:
This Chilean Chardonnay strikes a pleasing balance between richness and restraint. A whisper of vanilla oak complements the bright acidity, leaving a clean and refreshing finish. The grapes hail from Aconcagua Valley vineyards close to the Pacific Ocean, where cooling breezes ensure lively acidity in the fruit. Fermentation is followed by ageing in French oak barrels, adding a touch of spice to the citrus, dried fruit and mineral notes. There's a pleasing roundness on the palate, with flavours of lemon, peach and pink grapefruit mingling with subtle hints of honey and exotic spice. Overall, it's a well-made and harmonious example, offering a credible alternative to lighter white Burgundies.
The Producer:
Viña Errazuriz was founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errazuriz, a man with a keen eye for terroir. He saw potential in the Aconcagua Valley's cool winters, hot summers and cooling Pacific breezes, and transformed barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, his descendant Eduardo Chadwick, the fifth generation at the helm, continues the focus on quality. Modern winemaking techniques sit alongside a dedication to preserving the estate's unique character. Look out for their estate-grown wines - they're a testament to Errazuriz's enduring place amongst Chile's leading family-owned producers.
When to drink:
This cool-climate Chardonnay pairs beautifully with simple roast chicken, pan-fried fish, or a plate of mild, soft cheeses.
