Maycas de Limarí Quebrada Seca Chardonnay 2014
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
Cropped from a warmer and lower-yielding vintage, the barrel fermented 2014 Quebrada Seca was ready for tasting, as it had been bottled in April 2015. The percentage of new oak has been gradually reduced, and in 2014 it represented some 20% of the barrels used for the élevage of the wine. As I saw comparing it with the 2013 and 2014 of the Reserva Especial, this 2014 has gained in precision and clarity, with better integration of the wood, and it does not show any heat of the vintage. It was harvested earlier both in search of fresher wines and also because the vintage matured earlier. This is produced with the parts of the vineyards that have a higher concentration of calcium carbonate and it shows, there is no topicality whatsoever; the wine is very austere, balanced, fresh and mineral. Very Burgundian, this should age nicely in bottle. One step up in this 2014. 6,600 bottles were produced. Drink Date: 2016-2022. Score - 93. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2015)
