Veramonte Chardonnay

This wine, with its enticing pale color, comes from the vineyards of the Casablanca Valley. This cool-climate region lies on Chile’s northwestern coast, less than 30 km from the Pacific Ocean. Morning fog and gentle ocean breezes create ideal conditions for producing Chardonnay.

This region is characterized by a succession of warm days and cooler nights, and this climate helps the grapes ripen perfectly. The grapes are harvested at first light. They are pressed in a way that gives the wine structure from the grape stems. The juice is then left to settle for 24 hours, after which the first portion is fermented in barrels with wild yeasts. The second portion matures in stainless-steel tanks. 30% of the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation, giving the Chardonnay its flavor and freshness.

Dry Chardonnay from Chile’s Casablanca Valley pairs beautifully with grilled seafood such as shrimp or salmon. Its creamy texture and gentle acidity also complement soft-ripened cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. It’s also a great choice with creamy pasta dishes or roast chicken.

Veramonte was founded in 1998. Its organic
vineyards are located in two of Chile’s most renowned
appellations: Casablanca, ideal for white
wines, and Colchagua for red wines.
