South American Wine

Concha Y Toro Amelia Chardonnay 2022

$49.99

Clean and bright, light yellow colour. It is a complex and layered wine, dominated by minerality, white owers, pears and int. It combines the structure of the red clay very well with the minerality of the soil. It is long, tense and refreshing and very long on the palate, with an attractive salinity on the nish.

Limarí is a unique region. Its dry, cold climate characterized by cloudy mornings and sunny evenings, along with its calcareous and clayish soils, give it a distinctiveness compared to other white wine regions around the world. The 2022 Chardonnay Amelia encapsulates all these conditions, especially in a cold vintage. Winemaker Marcelo Pappa aimed to showcase this character by aging the wine for 12 months, with 90% in old French barrels and 10% in new ones. This greenish-yellow wine reveals aromas of lime, herbs, green apple and pineapple. The true difference lies on the palate: a saline, compact and vibrant Chardonnay with a dry, vivid and enduring finish. Undoubtedly one of the finest white wines in South America
