TASTING NOTE: The coastal 2016 Chardonnay Aconcagua Costa from Arboleda, the sister project of Errázuriz, was produced with grapes grown 12 kilometers away from the Pacific Ocean, from the coastal part of Aconcagua. It fermented with native yeast in oak barrels where the wine matured for ten months. It has moderate alcohol (13%) and remarkable acidity, very clean aromas and flavors. It's very dry, with a sharp texture and very fine acidity. Score - 90+ (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, April 28, 2017) |
