Tart, slick, racy.
Vina Chocalan is a stunning, sprawling and modern family owned winery located in the Maipo Valley, it rests 35-kilometers from the Pacific and is home to the vast majority of their production. A second estate vineyard site in the San Antonio Valley, a cool climate valley, is perfect for their premium white wines and Pinot Noir.
Like the Chocolan Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva, this lively white offers good value for price. It's a notably piquant one with classic key lime and green apples, elderflower leaf and starfruit and white flowers underscored by roasted jalapeo and hints of honey. It's tangy and racy and the texture is slick with bracing pomelo citrus, asparagus and jalapeno flavours.

This sprightly white offers outstanding value for price. Classic aromas of gooseberry, peach stone, green apple, starfruit, lime, wet stone and grass clippings lead to a racy palate. The flavours echo the nose, dominated by lime, grass clippings and green apples. Lovely purity here; slick and refreshing with a long tangy finish.
