Arboleda Chardonnay a Favourite among English Palate
“An impressive wine with a tremendous energy.”- Decanter
Arboleda Chardonnay 2015 recently received a Gold Medal and 95 points from the prestigious Decanter publication in the 2016 Decanter World Wine Awards.
The previous vintage of the same wine was also named one of the Top 10 Chardonnays in the world in the under £20 category by renowned English media The Drinks Business.
“Restrained notes of citrus and green apple on the nose. Refreshing acidity on the palate with a hint of vanilla. Good body and length. Elegant.”
This is not the first time this media has celebrated the Arboleda Chardonnay. Last year the 2013 vintage earned the Master Medal in The Drinks Business Global Chardonnay Masters, one of the competition’s most important awards.
These honours reflect the consistency of the quality, style, and identity of this Chardonnay from the Aconcagua Costa Valley.
“Elegant nose, understated, with spicy notes of clove, cinnamon and fresh toast. Then the wine emerges in the glass, layered, vigorous, with harmonious flinty, salty, citrusy and almondy character. It is profound, savoury-sweet in that way really good Chardonnay can be. An impressive wine with a tremendous energy.” Decanter World Wine Awards
