Tasting notes
The 2023 Aconcagua Costa Chardonnay leads with an ethereal, nuanced nose of citrus peels, sea spray and almond skin. The palate is silky, tensile and succulent, concluding with a persistent, focused finish that lingers with refreshing salinity and a chalky texture. It's a beautifully transparent and nuanced expression of Coastal Chilean Chardonnay.

Hand-picked and whole-cluster pressed. 78% of the must is fermented in French oak barrels. The wine is then aged on lees for a further 10–11 months in French oak (25% new). Winemaker Tomás Muñoz. RS 1.6 g/l. Screwcap. Vegan. Certified sustainable (Sustainable Wines of Chile). Very light nose but good concentration on the palate even if more in Chablis than Mâcon mode. Quite tense. GV (JR)
The 2023 Chardonnay Aconcagua Costa from Quillota presents intense aromas of pear and apple with hints of wet stone and flint. Creamy, expansive and brimming with freshness, this is a concentrated and energetic Chardonnay that reflects a modern expression of the style in Chile.
