On the nose this wine presents aromas of lemon zest and tropical fruits such as pineapple, papaya, and mango, and is also accompanied by a brilliant touch of oak that is creamy and buttery. On the palate the wine comes across in a rich style with toasted oak and great fruit balance. Papaya, mango, and creamy lemon are just a few of the complexities that are expressed in a crisp and focused style, that comes across in rich fashion without being viscous or globby in nature. It not often I find Chardonnay in this rich of a style that has the crisp acid and focus on fruit purity. This is truly an eye opener and probably the best Chilean Chardonnay I have tasted to date. Major kudos to Santa Rita! 91+ points
