Aconcagua Costa Chardonnay 2020

The ’Specialities’ range from Errázuriz offers unparalleled value for money. If you want world-class single-varietal wines with crystal clarity, then look no further.

The Aconcagua Costa Chardonnay benefits from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and the schist and slate soils of the region. Together they combine to create a wine with the elegance of a ballerina. Wild fermentation with native yeasts keeps this textbook Chardonnay true to its unique terroir. Then judicious French oak ageing layers notes of croissant, woodsmoke, honey roasted nuts, gingerbread and buttered baguette over the lemon posset, fresh pineapple, peach, cucumber, apricot, grapefruit sorbet, hay, white flower and lime zest flavours. Powerful yet delicately nuanced and deeply refreshing. In a word, sensational!

Consider pairing this phenomenal white wine with creamy curries, buttery sauces, roast chicken, lemon sole, barbequed vegetable kebabs or feta salads.

Chilean wine is considered ‘New World’ by many. But when you learn that Don Maximiano Errázuriz Valdivieso founded Viña Errázuriz in 1870, it makes a bit of a nonsense of that outdated moniker. Today, under the watchful eye of Eduardo Chadwick Claro, Errázuriz is one of Chile’s most iconic and one of the world’s most famous wineries.
