Complex and concentrated, with white peach, pear and citrus layered with honey, almond, floral notes and subtle oak spice. The palate is creamy yet tense, driven by vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-tinged finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with seafood risotto, lobster, roasted poultry, grilled salmon, creamy shellfish dishes, or semi-soft aged cheeses.
96 Points - James Suckling
Complexity and lots of stamina and verve here! Smoky lemons, nougat, ginger and flint provide a very flavorful palate. Intense and substantial on the palate, but still elegant and nuanced, with a hint of phenolics at the end. Long, focused finish. Think fine Meursault. Drink or hold.
95 Points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate
The 2020 Selección de Parcelas Los Primos Chardonnay was cropped from a warm and dry vintage, but in Traiguén in the south, it is not as warm as in the central valley of Chile. The grapes were harvested the first half of April; they harvested earlier and finished with more alcohol, still a moderate 13.5%, from a year of more body and rounder wines but without heat. The wine kept a pH of 3.16 and 6.9 grams of acidity. This also makes the wine a little more Burgundian, more Meursault than Chablis or Puligny, tasty, spicy with a tad more oak (all the new barrels for white are 400-liter ones, 38% of them new in 2020), because in warmer years there is a little more extraction from the oak. This is the warmest vintage so far, but the wine is still bone dry and there is no ripeness; but there's more weight and width
