A fantastic, full-bodied, buttery Chilean Chardonnay, especially at this price! Round, rich, mouth-filling with enticing aromas of butterscotch, toasty oak, fresh apple, peach and pear. Match this wine with roasted chicken or pork chops.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, grilled pork chops, crab cakes.

Reviews and Ratings

Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted July 6, 2018. Colour golden yellow. Legs medium. Aromas and flavours of, yellow apple, Asian pear, white peach, Mayer lemon, curd. Taste dry, tree fruit, citrus, fruity, medium body, mouthwatering, med alcohol. Finish medium minus tree fruit, citrus. Easy drinking wine, without overpowering tannin, a good every day drinking wine. We had a cheese pizza and the wine offered a contrast to th cheese that was bakd and bubbly on a nice crispy cust. (Farm Boy ).
Arboleda 2016 is a fantastic value Chardonnay from Chile. This is a single-vineyard wine, rich, rounded and mouthfilling. Look for fresh, ripe golden apple, pear, stonefruit and toasty on this dry, lush Chard. The wine was fermented with natural yeasts and matured in barrel for almost a year. Pair with grilled pork chops. - Community Wine Reviews
