"Andes Plateau buys the grapes for this chardonnay near the foot of the Andes in Maule, from vineyards on colluvial soils, of volcanic origin, planted in the early 2000s. Aged only in cement for six months (this is the first time it has no oak), it has a delicious saline character that's combined with notes of citrus and white fruits in a very grippy body that sticks to the palate with its acidity and tight texture, one of the main attributes of this chardonnay. For shellfish marinated in lemon."

Product Description:

The height, the colors, the skyes and their unique terroirs is what Andes Mountains gives to us. Andes Plateau was born as a tireless searching to show mountain sense through an elegant, fresh and easy drinking wine.

"This winery founded by winemaker Felipe Uribe is defined as a project focused on high-altitude wines with a mountain influence. It first came onto the scene with the launch of Andes Plateau 700, a red blend from two origins—Pirque (Maipo) and Alcohuaz (Elqui). Today, Andes Plateau’s catalog includes other labels, such as Cota 500 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cota 500 Merlot. For many years, Uribe was the winemaker at the William Fèvre winery, where he made wines with a mountain character. Uribe owns Andes Plateau in partnership with his family." - Descorchados
