This Chardonnay is brilliant yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, tropical aromas of peach and pineapple combine with hints of pear. A lovely fruitiness on the palate is balanced by a generous natural acidity.
The vineyard is located in Requinoa within the Cachapoal Andes valley. They are protected from the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean by the coastal mountains, but the influence of the Andes ensures warm days and cool nights. This provides ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, resulting in ripe tannins and attractive perfumes. The Chardonnay grapes for the Sanama Reserva come from Chardonnay clone 76 and 95 vines which were planted in 2010. The vineyards lie on silty clay loam and deep alluvial soils located approximately 385 metres above sea level. The vines are trained in a vertical trellis conduction system, with bilateral pinned cordon pruning.
Upon arrival at the winery the grapes were fermented in stainless-steel tanks for 3 weeks at temperatures between 12-14°C. The wines went through two months ageing in stainless-steel tanks before bottling.
The Sanama Reserva wines are made by the team at Château Los Boldos, using a combination of estate fruit (younger vines and declassified tanks) and grapes purchased from local growers. The resulting wines offer great value, defined with clear varietal characters in a fruit-forward style, ready for drinking.
