Country: Chile / Maquehua
Variety: Chardonnay Curicó Valley
Winery: Miguel Torres /
Makes a strong statement for the potential of Chardonnay in Chile, with powerful toast and hazelnut aromas playing opposite fruit comprised of peaches and Granny Smith apples. It’s barrel-fermented and aged, but stayed only a relatively short time in wood, so you can still taste the fruit and all of the nutty, leesy complexities. Editors’ Choice.
