Miguel Torres Cordillera Chardonnay

Our Cordillera Chardonnay has its origin in the Limarí Valley, which has a cool climate typical of the Chilean coast.
This bright valley with its chalky soils, characterized by being deep clayey loam and alluvial terrain, as well as its maritime influence, has excellent conditions for growing the Chardonnay variety. After a light pressing, we ferment this wine in French oak barrels, achieving a wine with marked personality, freshness, and elegance.

Tasting note: Fresh, fruity aroma dominated by peach, white plum, and grapefruit notes, with touches of toasted hazelnut. Mineral on the palate, with plenty of volume, elegant acidity and lasting rich fruity aromas, ending with a fresh, pleasant aftertaste.

Pairing: Shrimp, Baked fish, Shellfish

Miguel Torres Cordillera Chardonnay 2022	92 Vinous The 2022 Chardonnay Cordillera de los Andes is sourced from the coastal Limarí region and was fermented and aged in barrels and foudres (10% new). Displaying a greenish-white hue, it reveals aromas of green peas alongside green apples and a subtle hint of creamed corn, all set against a delicate oak backdrop. Dry, saline and taut on the palate, it lingers with a chalky texture. This is an intense coastal Chardonnay.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
