Concha y Toro Marques De Casa Concha Chardonnay 2018
Served @ DBFW's "QPR" Tasting
Winemaker Notes: Light yellow in color. Combining richness with elegance and vibrancy this ripe, delicious wine serves up tasty white pear, mineral notes and toasty hazelnut. Deeply concentrated with a silky texture and layers of pears and ripe figs and mineral flavors with a long and vibrant finish.
Fish and shellfish in butter, cheese or cream sauces; white meats such as rabbit, turkey, pork, or game birds; light dishes based on legumes or grains; mild curries based on coconut milk; ravioli, lasagna, and polenta with white sauce.
This is a fantastic chardonnay with impressive complexity. Dried apple, hints of lemons and lightly creamy oak. Stones and minerals, too. Full yet so vibrant and intense.
The sharper and saltier 2018 Marques de Casa Concha Chardonnay shows the Chablis-like character of he limestone soils and the marine influence from the proximity of the sea. They used some 600-liter barrels and lowered the percentage of new barrels, so the oak is very integrated. The wine is long and mineral, serious and balanced.
Clean whitefruit aromas show nice lift on the nose, while this Limarí Chardonnay smells faintly smoky and toasty. A textural body is medium to full in size, while light oak notes accent flavors of melon and green banana. A steady finish confirms the relative high quality of this oak-aged Chardonnay
