Maycas de Limari wines are part of this range, coming from the Limari region known for its elegant expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Tasting Notes
This Chilean Viognier which has been produced using both organic and sustainable farming methods, brilliantly shows off the aromatic qualities of the variety. Gently pressed to retain the fruit character, the wine is blended and 15% is aged in French oak barrels. The Gewurztraminer will help to further promote the intense aromatics, which brings forward a fruity nose full of apricot, lychee and subtle floral notes. The palate is well-rounded and has a pleasant lingering finish.
Food
Due to its soft texture and its complex and concentrated flavours, this wine is ideal for serving with grilled escalopes with a tropical reduction, grilled fish such as Conger with a cream sauce and some desserts such as papayas with cream.
