Experience the elegance and complexity of the 'Wild Ferment' Chardonnay, sourced from the renowned La Escultura vineyard in Chile's Casablanca Valley. This wine is crafted with 100% Chardonnay grapes, grown just 32 km from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. The unique microclimate features warm summer days, refreshing evening breezes, and gentle morning fog, all contributing to an ideal environment for preserving vibrant aromas, flavours, and bright acidity. Hand-picked grapes, naturally fermented with native yeasts, and carefully aged in French oak barrels combine to create a Chardonnay that delivers depth, balance, and a signature sense of place.
