    A Chardonnay from the coastal area near the Pacific Ocean in the  Maule valley, 
    which is a privileged origin for growing cold climate varieties. This bright yellow 
    wine with golden hints is recognized for its strong citrus aromas which 
    accompany a superb mineral character. In nose, aromas of tropical fruits 
    like pineapple combine with citric  
    grapefruit notes. In the mouth, fruity flavors combine with a balanced 
    minerality, giving it a nice freshness.
