Tributo Chardonnay Casablanca Valley DO – Caliterra

The Tributo Chardonnay Casablanca Valley from the pen of Caliterra from Casablanca offers a bright, golden yellow color in the wine glass. Ideally poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from the New World shows wonderfully expressive aromas of orange, pear, jasmine and kumquat, rounded off by sun-warmed rocks and forest soil contributed by aging in wooden barrels.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 1.5 grams of residual sugar. As you would naturally expect from a wine, this Chilean naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully light and silky. Due to its vital fruit acidity, the Tributo Chardonnay Casablanca Valley from Caliterra reveals itself to be fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The finale of this ripening white wine from the wine-growing region of Aconcagua, more precisely from Valle de Casablanca, finally impresses with good reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by granite and clay.
