Tasting Notes:
Straw yellow color, intense aroma, pineapple, herb. In the mouth is balanced, fresh, high acidity, at the end has a slightly salty taste, typical and characteristic of the wines of this area.

Robert Parker (RP) : 91+ Points (2018)
The 2018 Legado Chardonnay was produced with fruit from the Espinal vineyard from Tabalí in Limarí, and it's a textbook barrel-fermented and barrel-aged Chardonnay from a cooler year but with good ripeness and superb acidity. The wine matured in barrel for 18 months, and it's really impressive at this price point. It's serious and harmonious, with a chalky sensation on the palate. 57,653 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019.

James Suckling (JS) : 91 Points (2014)
A solid white with sliced apple and lemon aromas and flavors. Medium body. Hints of minerals too. (5/2016)

Decanter (DCT) : 90 Points (2014)
From one of the most innovative and exciting producers in Chile comes this cool-climate, single vineyard wine. It's elegant yet full-bodied, with citrus and ripe apple aromas. There's oak but it's subtle, thanks to the use of old barrels, and the creamy texture is well supported by a fresh, vivacious acidity.

These are characterful wines from selected single vineyards that embody the style of De Martino. La Cancha is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon and our best expression of the variety. This vineyard in Isla de Maipo was for many years a football pitch (or “cancha” in Spanish), hence its name.

Vasse Felix Filius Chardonnay 2021
Vasse Felix Chardonnay is typified by its bright, elegant fruit, subtle wild complexities and a tight acid structure, reflecting the vibrancy and purity of this variety in Margaret River. ‘Filius’ translates to ‘son of’ in Latin, reflecting the relationship between this wine and its premier ‘father’.

A beautiful amber-honey color, it shows excellent fruit on the palate, tropical fruits - especially pineapple - but at the same time has a long dry finish, typical of the house style you find at La Rosa.

Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley Syrah 2020
The Columbia Valley Syrah is a soft, ripe Syrah with ripe berry fruit aromas and flavors with hints of vanilla and brown sugar spice. It was co-fermented with Viognier for an even more accessible and fruit forward style of Syrah. This is an enjoyable red.
