Vina Echeverria No es Pituko Chardonnay Curico Valley

Vina Echeverria No es Pituko Chardonnay Curico Valley - Pale and slightly cloudy due to the natural vinification, this Chardonnay offers intense aromas of banana, apple and pear blended with toasted brioche. The full-bodied, rich and creamy palate is balanced by a refreshing and fruity finish.

'No es Pituko' is Chilean slang for 'it ain't fancy' reflecting the fact that this wine wasvinified naturally, without any additions at any stage. The Viognier grapes were hand-harvested and brought to the winery in 18kg boxes to preserve the quality. They were destemmed, pressed and cooled at 8°C, before being fermented with wild yeasts from the environment.  Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks attemperatures of 13 to 17°C and lasted for 25 days. The wine went through malolacticconversion resulting in the textured mouthfeel and buttery notes before spending three months on its fine lees imparting texture and complexity.
