Apaltagua
Chardonnay
What do you get when you don’t add any oak flavors to a Chardonnay? You get a brilliant and complex, mineral-rich white wine that is refreshing, as well as being the perfect canvas for terroir. The Apaltagua Chardonnay could only come from Casablanca Valley (Chile’s first official “cool climate valley”) which is the ideal site for the production of white grapes. The Paci c Ocean plays a significant role in cooling the region, resulting in grapes with just the right maturity to make great wine. The Apaltagua Chardonnay is golden but flecked with green, and full of tropical fruit flavors. The scents are fresh and clean, and notes of lime and vanilla tease out of the Chardonnay as you enjoy the bottle.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Casablanca](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1811/normal/Chile.png?1616010256)
Casablanca
Of all the wine regions in all the countries in all the world, Chile's Casablanca Valley has carved out a reputation for producing some of the finest white wines on the continent. Lying northwest of Santiago and just 18 miles from the Pacific coast, the region remains consistently cool throughout its long, sunny growing season. This helps create ideal conditions for Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to develop their fresh aromatics and crisp, elegant complexities without becoming too lush. Indeed, Casablanca's Mediterranean-like conditions provide a marvelous setting for Riesling, Viognier and Gewürztraminer as well, making exceptional varietal wines with an Old World character.
