Maycas Limari 2008 Chardonnay is grown 300 miles north of Santiago and 8 miles in from the coast.
It’s 100% chardonnay and sells for $20.
It’s nice that there isn’t too much oak on the front, but it has an interesting flavor that i’ve found in most Chilean wines.
I’m not so much of a chardonay person, and this is a miss for me.
