Reviews and Ratings

Mark Britton rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

This is a pleasant chardonnay but it lacks in structure and overall character. There are plenty of good Chardonnay's coming out of Chile and while this one is by no means bad, there are better options available.
Our estate grown Reserva Chardonnay comes from the Casablanca Valley, one of the
finest wine producing regions in the world for white wines. A fragrant aroma of
luscious, tropical fruit, nectarines, grapefruit and citrus blossom are finely mingled with typical wood tones where it was aged. Wonderful fruit flavors are enhanced by
a pleasant acidity and sweetness. An outstanding Chardonnay, finely and beautifully balanced, concluding in a complex, lingering finish.
