Vina Falernia Chardonnay Elqui Valley Chile

A new winery founded in 1995 by Aldo Olivier Gramola in collaboration with Italian enologist Giorgio Flessati, Vina Falernia is located in the Elqui Valley between La Serena and Vicuna, 470 km to the north of Santiago and it is at present Chile's northernmost wine estate. With the majestic Andes as a backdrop, their peaks gleaming white all through the summer, the vineyards benefit from currents of cold air which descend from the high mountains at night. The soils in the vineyards are composed partly of rubble which has eroded from the Andes mountains and deposited by glaciers and wind, and partly of alluvial sand and silt deposited by the river. While stony, gravely soils are regarded as poor for most crops, their excellent drainage qualities make them perfect for wine growing. The winery is located in the Vicuna area and is equipped with state of the art technology, including sealed pneumatic press which, in addition to producing perfectly clear must by applying very low pressure, also enable Vina Falernia to cold macerate white grapes prior to pressing while stainless steel tanks are used for temperature controlled fermentation. This yellow coloured Chardonnay has intense tropical fruit flavours combine with toasty oak to give a rich but supple mouthfeel. (12 x 75 cl)
