Santa Rita Medalla Real Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2023

A wine with creamy texture, but also acidity that traces the contours of the palate – that citrusy acidity that fuses with the ripe flavors of a white to open with shellfish au gratin. It comes from the alluvial banks of the Limarí River in northern Chile. 40% of the volume was aged in barrels for 10 months, and the rest in stainless steel tanks. Score – 92.
