CHILE – WHITE WINE
SANTA RITA MEDALLA REAL GRAN RESERVA CHARDONNAY 2023 Valle del Limarí
INDOMABLE BLEND DE MALBEC 2021 Mendoza (Colosso Wines) 100% Malbec [sourced from four vineyard areas in Mendoza]. Perfumed and inviting, with pretty aromas of violet petal, cedar, vanilla and tobacco, then to a palate of candied cherry, strawberry jam and a lifted, bright acidity. Score: 96 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2022) Full-bodied & Smooth 31972 (XD) 750 ml $18.95 2
A wine with creamy texture, but also acidity that traces the contours of the palate – that citrusy acidity that fuses with the ripe flavors of a white to open with shellfish au gratin. It comes from the alluvial banks of the Limarí River in northern Chile. 40% of the volume was aged in barrels for 10 months, and the rest in stainless steel tanks.
