Reviews and Ratings

Trevor Sabourin - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is wonderfully complex, balanced, and flavourful chardonnay from Chile's cool-climate Casablanca Valley. The texture and balance is largely achieved through the use of wild yeast, partial (50%) malolactic fermentation, and 10 months' ageing in second and third-fill French oak. The aromas show hazelnut, cream, red apple and pear, lemon curd, grapefruit, pineapple, and touches of honeysuckle, chalky minerals, yeast/biscuit, and light toast/smoke. The flavours are very similar, though the fruit takes center-stage and is particularly bright and intense. Hints of clove and honey also emerge. The acidity, body, and alcohol are all medium high, and the long finish lingers with apple/pear, hazelnut, and toasty/biscuit notes. This would pair beautifully with roast turkey or pork.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
