SierraGrandeChardonnay

<p>Ripe white peaches and mango on the nose with tight and structured mineral flavours on the palate. No oak, very pure, clean and crisp with bright tropical fruit.</p><p>The fruit driven Chardonnay is rich, round and immediately appealing whilst the Cabernet is full of dark cassis fruit with ripe soft tannins.</p><p>Grapes are sourced from a stunning 200 year old hacienda which sits amidst strawberry fields in the Andean foothills above Talca in the beautiful Maule Valley. Produced from old vine Chardonnay (25-40yrs) grown on the Hacienda Valle Frio estate in Maule Valley. The altitude here means that the diurnal temperature variation extends the growing season balancing ripeness and acidity.</p><p>No oak is used so the wine is a pure expression of the fruit. The old wooden winery in the midst of strawberry fields has survived all of Chile’s worst earthquakes over the past 2 centuries.</p><p>Very pleasurable on it’s own, this would nevertheless be perfect with poultry, fish dishes & creamy pasta bakes.</p>
