Bright and
intense pale yellow in color. The nose expresses ripe white and tropical
fruits, backed by citrus and mineral hints. Same atmosphere in the mouth,

back all the aromatic personality.

CONCEPT: The still greatest grape to give
birth to the most captivating white wines in the world found its Chilean
cradle. Limari is able to confer all the necessary minerality to the grape
natural richness, enlightening aromatic complexities and bringing dazzling
brightness to textured structures. Meticulous vinification and barrel aging
faithfully help the yet born precision, increasing the natural but so subtle
balance between elegance and power. Truly Chardonnay... definitively Limari
!
TASTING NOTES: A deep and dazzling gold
yellow announces an elegant nose where citruses first appear with lime. Then
come white fruits such as pears and golden apples with tangerine zests and
green olive hints with a subtle and slightly smoky touch of English cream
and vanilla. All this complex and also floral fan is enhanced by a lot of
freshness and mineral chalk accents. The mouth starts immediately with a
sensation of vibrant unctuosity. A lot of volume but no overweight at all
thanks to its mineral and fresh structure.The density of the flesh, also
revealed by its barrel aging is here unlighted by the nature of its soils
and climat. The finish is long, tensed and powerful, expressing white fruits
and white flowers with touches of honey and spicy fresh hazelnuts backed up
by the mineral influences. Winemaker: Jose Pablo Martin
