RST Chardonnay Valle del Colchagua 2017

From Litueche in Ucuquer, Colchagua Valley. Second vintage. Vines originally planted for Concha y Toro. Hoping to move to dry farming. 5% new oak. Pale mid gold. Initial reduction quickly blows off, yielding gentle nuttiness over subtle passion fruit and yellow peach. On the palate, gently textured and mid weight, with upfront peach and stone fruit, bright acidity and fair length.
