Araucano reserva
Reserva Araucano Chardonnay
Variety
100% CHARDONNAY. A highly reputed white grape variety originally from Burgundy, which adapts admirably well to different soils. Early bud burst makes it sensitive to spring frosts. Today, it is the second most widely planted grape in Chile.
Location
We have selected grapes from Lolol (cool climate) and warmer area of the Colchagua Valley, where the grapes are able to reach perfect ripeness without losing any of their aromas.
Tasting notes
Intense and complex nose. Ripe fruits such as pear are oven baked apples. Scents of subtile oak, vanilla on the back. The palate is deep, ample, supple, with a lot of fruits aromas. A long aromatic persistence and a palate built on ripe grape which confers to the wine an elegant structure.
The Vintage
After a rainy winter, the beginning of spring was dry and hot, which resulted in early vegetative development. The climatic conditions in November, which were hotter and more humid than usual, helped plump the grapes. We harvested 10 days earlier than usual, beginning on the 13th February with Sauvignon Blanc grown in Lolol. Our biodynamic practices over the past few years have enabled us to maintain a very good level of acidity. We are producing a highly complex wine with a combination of fruity notes (pineapple, lychee) and floral notes (boxwood, blackcurrant flowers), all of which are bound by a great deal of minerality. The fact that the Lolol terroir is influenced by the ocean should enable us to
maintain its acidity.Suggestions
