Santa Carolina Chardonnay Gran Reserva 2018

Valle del Itata, ChileI'm not surprised by the quality of this wine. It seems everything coming out of Santa Carolina is more focused than ever, and on the mark more often than not. This chardonnay comes with both a bit of luxury in weight and creaminess buffered by the inherent cool freshness of its Itata fruit source. But for $20, no one can complain given its biscuity complexity and bright citrus undercurrent. Good and getting better every year.Tasted: 26 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
