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.
