This sturdy Chardonnay rewards the taste buds with hints of lemon zest, apple, peach and a whiff of caramel. The estate’s Chardonnay grapes are grown in Chile’s western Casablanca region, which is known for its cool nights and warm days. A small amount of the developing young wine underwent malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels before being blended back in with the rest of the Chardonnay.
