Concha y Toro Description

RNDC

Winemaker Notes

Clean, clear and bright pale-yellow color. This is a complex, layered wine with standout minerality, white flowers, pear and flinty notes. The structure from the red clay works very well with the minerality of the soil. The palate is ethereal, fine and tense, with good persistence and the saline that is a hallmark of its origin.

Pairs well with fish and shellfish as well as creamy cheeses such as Brie and Camembert.

Professional Ratings

96 James Suckling
Quite a fresh and chalky nose of eggshells, lemon peel, flint and a touch of seashells. Fresh and saline on the palate, with a medium to full body and lots of tension and saline character. Lightly briny and long, without getting too extreme. 10% new oak barrels. All from Quebrada Seca. Drink now or hold.
95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Sourced from the renowned Quebrada Seca site in coastal Limarí, the 2023 Amelia Chardonnay was barrel fermented in 10% new barrique without undergoing malolactic conversion. The nose presents a rich, honeyed and floral bouquet with impressive definition and clarity, leading to a similarly powerful, textural palate invigorated by mineral streaks. It finishes with a balanced, layered profile that is both broad and refreshing, revealing more lingering chalky notes with additional aeration.

93 Wine Spectator
A complex and layered white, with spiced pastry, toasted almond and verbena notes that join an energetic, lingering core of clove-laced baked apple and grilled lemon. Finishes with nice length and a salty, minerally freshness centered on the core flavors.
93 Wine Enthusiast
Limarí is a valley with low rainfall and lots of sunlight balanced by cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean. Chardonnay has shown excellent results in this region. This white begins with aromas of apricot, quince and a touch of ginger. It has depth and energy, exhibiting wood spices, lime, stone fruit and herbs that run smoothly on the palate. A light note of salt adds interest to the finish.
