CARTA VIEJA CHARDONNAY 2022

Carta Vieja puts this Chardonnay in a can — an unusual format for a Chilean label founded in 1825 that otherwise trades heavily on tradition and eight generations of Del Pedregal family winemaking. The fruit comes from Valle de Maule, one of Chile's southernmost and coolest major valleys, where volcanic and alluvial soils produce grapes with natural acidity. Expect ripe apple and stone fruit upfront, with a soft, round finish that suits the portable format's casual drinking context.
