This wine originates in from El Granito vineyard, planted in 2010 in the Leyda Valley, a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean. Vibrant and attractive golden colour. On the nose it exudes aromas of ripe yellow fruits, citrus zest, hut cross buns, brioche and hints of butterscotch, as well as toasty oak and nutty notes. Traditional, broad and creamy style of Chardonnay, however balancing acidity enables the wine to retain a sense of harmony.
