WINE DESCRIPTION

Santa Carolina Reserva Chardonnay is a premium white wine produced by Santa Carolina, a renowned winery in Chile. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Casablanca Valley, known for its cool climate and ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, which impart a subtle vanilla and toastiness to the wine. The result is a well-balanced and elegant wine with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of minerality. This Chardonnay is perfect for those who enjoy a medium-bodied wine with a smooth and creamy texture, and a long and refreshing finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Santa Carolina

Region: Casablanca Valley

Situated in the Central Valley of Chile, the Casablanca Valley is a relatively young wine region that has quickly become one of the country's most important wine-producing areas. The Casablanca Valley was first planted with vines in the late 1980s, making it one of the youngest wine regions in Chile. The region was initially planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, but in recent years, winemakers have begun to experiment with other varieties such as Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Carmenere. The region has quickly become known for its high-quality wines, and it is now one of the most important wine-producing areas in Chile.
