Montes Classic Series Chardonnay Valle Central DO, Chile, is a dry White still wine made from Chardonnay grapes, with 30% fermented in new French oak for six months, adding texture and complexity. It offers expressive aromas of fresh tropical fruit like papaya, peach, and grapefruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, showcasing vibrant fruit character supported by hints of vanilla, hazelnut, and toast. This versatile wine pairs wonderfully with poultry, rich fish, mild cheeses, or pasta dishes.

75.0CL , 14.0% ABV

Grapes were hand picked into small 10kg boxes and then sorted in order to remove any under ripe or damaged berries. A portion was whole bunch pressed, with the juice then being transferred into stainless-steel tanks. Another portion was destemmed and cold soaked at 9°C for a few hours to extract aromatic precursors from the skins. Fermentation lasted between 12 - 20 days and took place at 12-14°C in stainless-steel tanks in order to preserve freshness. The wine did not undergo malolactic conversion, and 30% of the wine was aged in new French oak for six to eight months.

This Chardonnay offers an inviting bouquet of fresh tropical fruits, peach, and grapefruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, showcasing vibrant fruit character beautifully complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, nutty flavours, and a hint of smoke from its French oak aging.
