Grape

Chardonnay

Origin
Sourced mainly from the Limarí Valley, the northernmost vineyard district in Chile. Although closer to the equator, the valley is efficiently cooled by sea breezes, due to its east-west orientation. This Chardonnay is barrel fermented and undergoes regular lees stirring.
Taste
Bright golden in colour, with a faint green tint. The nose offers good ripeness, with citrus aromas turning to a softer, more apple and stone fruit character. Weighty and creamy on the palate.
Enjoy
Balances well with oily fish such as baked sea bass, barbecued pork belly or roasted poultry.

    Disappointing

    Hate to disagree with so many enthusiastic reviews (and I may have had a duff bottle), but I found this lightweight and very unimpressive. Impossible to find the sweet spot in terms of temperature: chilled as a Burgundy, it was stone cold dead; a few degrees warmer and it became unbearably floral and cloying, almost sweet. Not a patch on the southern French chardonnays I've been enjoying from Majestic recently.

    I love it

    A great wine for anyone who like wine with plenty of taste. Not subtle or for the faint hearted. I love it

    Enjoyable, affordable Chardonnay

    Only recently started to enjoy oaked Chardonnay and this is a great wine. We had it with Soy poached chicken and it went down very well. Not too acidic and was well balanced.

    Nice oaked chardonnay

    Burgundy style without the excessive acidity and the ridiculous prices. A good deal.
