Las Alturas Chardonnay

Pale lemon in colour with fruity aromas. The palate has zesty citrus and yellow melon notes with a lovely richness and weight.

It goes perfectly with seafood such as prawns, shrimps, scallops and grilled or baked white fish. Also with white meats, such as baked chicken or turkey with fine herbs, creamy sultanas or soft cheeses.

The grapes hail from Aconcagua Valley, ones of the country’s premier wine regions. With a Mediterranean-like climate -hot, dry summers and mild, brief winters- the area benefits from the cooling effects of the nearby ocean. Morning fogs ensure slow, even ripening, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and complexity.

Grapes are harvested when they are at just the right point of maturity to express the full potential of the famous Chardonnay grapes of the Aconcagua Valley. After destemming, grapes are cooled down (below 13º for more than 20 days) to prevent fermentation from starting too soon and enhance fruit concentration. The wine remains in contact with fine lees for 60 days to enhance its body and flavour.
