Amelia Chardonnay 2022

DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN: Quebrada Seca Vineyard D.O. Limarí , Limarí Valley.,

AGING:

12 months in French oak barrels, 18% new and 82 % second and third-use.

VINEYARD:

The Quebrada Seca Vineyard is located 190 m a.s.l., just 22 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean on the northern bank of the Limarí River. The clay soils are rich in calcium carbonate. The temperatures are cold, and the mornings are cloudy, which allows the fruit to ripen slowly and produce fresh wines.

SOIL:

Blocks 3 is associated with the Santa Cristina soil series. The calcareous clay soils are stony and of colluvial origin. Block 9 is also of colluvial origin, and its soils are associated with the Quebrada Seca soil series, which has thinner, calcareous clay soils and no stones.

WEATHER:

Coastal. The cool breezes from the coast blow directly into the valley and moderate the temperatures, and this, combined with the typical morning clouds allow the grapes to ripen slowly and thus produce fresher wines.
