The Society's Chilean Limarí Chardonnay 2021
White Wine from Chile
2021 is one of the best recent vintages for this wine from Limarí, which has become Chile's pre-eminent region for chardonnay. Crisp and refreshing, this was made for us by Concha y Toro and their brilliant winemakers Marcelo Papa and Ignacio Recabarren. It was tank matured with some lees stirring to enrich the palate without masking its bright fruit.

The diversity of soil types, climates, aspect and altitude has enabled the company to develop an impressive repertoire of grape varieties, each of which is sourced from vineyards best suited to its needs.
Concha y Toro has expanded almost beyond recognition from its humble beginnings in 1883, when liberal politician Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Doña Emiliana cultivated their first vineyards from Bordeaux vine cuttings. After Don Melchor died, his son took over, and the 1930s saw the company’s first exports – to the Dutch port of Rotterdam.

Well-made fruit-forward, dry Chardonnay. Just what it should be. Plenty of fruit balanced by nicely dry texture and finish. Good value. 15.5/20
