CARTA VIEJA LIMITED RELEASE<br />
RESERVA CHARDONNAY 2009<br />
Loncomilla Valley<br />
TASTING NOTE: The cooler-climate valley<br />
along the Loncomilla River is ideal for<br />
Chardonnay. This creamy Chard is chockfull<br />
of tropical fruit, citrus, toasty vanilla<br />
and a dose of sweet oak. Buttery, with<br />
crisp, lip-smacking acidity. An exceptional<br />
value. Enjoy with some grilled tuna or<br />
fried chicken. (VINTAGES panel,<br />

SELECTION CHARDONNAY 2009<br />
Casablanca Valley<br />
Our Quality Assurance Laboratory has<br />
determined this wine contains 16 mg/L of<br />
free sulphur.<br />
TASTING NOTE: Light, greenish yellow.<br />
Reticent nose suggests yellow fruits,<br />
melon and honey. Dense, sappy and<br />
attractively sweet, with talc and toast<br />
notes complementing flavors of cantaloupe,<br />
nectarine and tangerine. Shows good<br />
energy and finishes with sappy, intensely<br />
fruity persistence. Score: 88<br />

VIÑA CASABLANCA EL BOSQUE<br />
BARREL FERMENTED CHARDONNAY<br />
2008<br />
Casablanca Valley, Winemaker’s Choice<br />
Chile’s Casablanca Valley has quickly<br />
developed a well-earned reputation for<br />
producing tremendous cool-climate<br />
wines. This one is a fine example. It combines<br />
southern-Burgundy-esque<br />
Chardonnay freshness and minerality with<br />
the roundness of a warm-climate version.<br />
Fairly robust with a lengthy, fruit-driven<br />
finish. Try it with stir-fried shrimp and<br />
peas with pesto, atop a heap of pasta.<br />
