"Aaron's email yesterday was "The Best Chardonnay You Have Never Heard Of: Penfolds Bin 144 Yattarna". I have to say I have heard of that one (but then again I have been here for almost 40 years now....but this one I have never heard of!!" - Paul
97 Points from one of the strictest reviewers is impressive!
2022 Concha y Toro Chardonnay Casablanca Valley Amelia Private Reserve....$49.99
Limarí is a unique region. Its dry, cold climate characterized by cloudy mornings and sunny evenings, along with its calcareous and clayish soils, give it a distinctiveness compared to other white wine regions around the world. The 2022 Chardonnay Amelia encapsulates all these conditions, especially in a cold vintage. Winemaker Marcelo Pappa aimed to showcase this character by aging the wine for 12 months, with 90% in old French barrels and 10% in new ones. This greenish-yellow wine reveals aromas of lime, herbs, green apple and pineapple. The true difference lies on the palate: a saline, compact and vibrant Chardonnay with a dry, vivid and enduring finish. Undoubtedly one of the finest white wines in South America.
