Santa Rita Floresta Chardonnay 2021

The 2021 Chardonnay Floresta from Punitaque, Limarí, was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Yellow with a golden sheen. The nose presents green apple and creamed corn notes with hints of ginger cookie over a bed of cedar. Chalky and channeled in the mouth, the refreshing flow runs into a lingering finish of fruity and saline flavors. A textbook Chard from Limarí. Drinking window: 2023-2030. Score – 93.
