Chile first wowed us with its silky, pure fruit Bordeaux style reds, then showed us it could do just the same with crisp whites. The wines seem to perfectly straddle the middle line between the elegant restraint of the Old World and the bright fruit exuberance of the New! Elevado is a terrific tasting Chardonnay from Chile's pristine Central Valley. There, long hours of brilliant bright sunshine ripen the grapes to perfection, while elevated vineyards ensure they retain a lovely freshness too. The grapes for Elevado are taken from various plots to gain a balance of fruit and freshness, while fermentation at a low temperature in the modern cellar further enhances its bright character. It makes a tasty glass solo or with chicken or fishcakes.
