From Concha y Toro in Chile’s Limarí Valley, the Amelia Chardonnay 2022 is a refined 100% Chardonnay sourced from the Quebrada Seca vineyard on calcareous soils at 250 meters elevation, where Pacific breezes and morning fog foster freshness and concentration. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—marked by cool conditions yielding vibrant acidity—undergo whole-cluster pressing, fermentation in French oak barrels (30% new), and 14 months’ aging with bâtonnage to enhance richness and complexity. Named after Amelia Kemper, this flagship white yields a pale gold wine with green highlights and remarkable depth.
Tasting Notes An elegant, textured white with ripe tropical fruit and creamy oak, reflecting Limarí’s cool-climate terroir. The nose reveals pineapple, peach, citrus blossom, and hints of vanilla and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and harmonious, with bright acidity, silky texture, and flavors of lemon curd, brioche, and subtle minerality, leading to a long, refined finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Amelia Chardonnay earned 95 points from James Suckling for its complex nose and creamy, polished palate.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with lobster, creamy pasta, or poultry. Enjoy now through 2032, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed nuances.
