Vendaval Chardonnay, 2021

With vineyards in Chile’s Maipo, Colchagua, and Maule Valleys, Vendaval crafts affordable wines that nonetheless speak of place. The entry-level wines come from a combination of sites with younger vines, the Reservas are from vines in the 35-40 year range, hand-picked fruit, house-cultured pieds de cuve, and natural malolactic fermentations. The Central Valley runs all the way north to south in between the two most important range of mountains, the Andes on the east side and the Coastal range on the west side beginning in Santiago and extends for 300 kilometers. Deep soils with dry springs and warm summers make the perfect place for growing grapes.
