Product Notes

Caliterra Chardonnay Reserva is a delightful Chilean wine that marvellously blends sophistication with delicate subtlety. This charmer dons a vibrant golden hue, serving a breath-taking medley of aromas, featuring ripe tropical fruits, lemon zest and nuances of vanilla. On the palate, it delights with its delightful creaminess, well-rounded structure, and balanced acidity. Flavours reminiscent of peaches and citrusy undertones leave a lingering finish. Vinified from meticulously selected grapes and aged in French oak barrels, the Caliterra Chardonnay Reserva is without a doubt a commendable offering, perfect for a cosy evening or pair with white meat or fish dishes.

Tasting Notes

Golden yellow with green hues, this wine shows great intensity on the nose. Fruity aromas of pineapple and pear are accompanied by citrus and mineral notes ending with a few soft touches of toasted bread.The palate is balanced and mineral, with a beautiful acidity, enhancing the flavours on the palate. Good persistence on the mouth, with great freshness and vivacity.

About the Winery

Nestled in the breathtaking vineyard valleys of Central Chile, Caliterra Winery embodies the essence of Chilean wine country. Its name is derived from the Spanish words "calidad" meaning quality and "tierra" meaning land, a representation that aptly suits this prestigious estate.

Founded in 1996 through a partnership between two wine aficionados – Robert Mondavi and Viña Errázuriz's President Eduardo Chadwick – Caliterra had a clear goal: to craft high-quality, ecologically friendly wines with a distinctly Chilean character. Proving to be a harmonic union of traditional Chilean and innovative Californian winemaking techniques, their wines exude an allure that often captivates both seasoned sommeliers and budding oenophiles alike.

The vineyards of Caliterra stretch luxuriantly over the hilly landscape of the Colchagua Valley. Here, the vines are bathed in abundant sunlight and cooled by the breezes from the Andes, providing perfect conditions for growing an array of grape varieties. From robust Cabernet Sauvignons and husky Syrahs to refreshing Sauvignon Blancs and elegant Chardonnays, their portfolio of wines offers a taste for every palette.

However, what sets Caliterra apart from its counterparts is its keen consciousness toward sustainability. The winery is steadfast in its commitment to producing premium wines while operating within a framework of environmental respect and social responsibility. Their sustainability efforts encompass water conservation, recycling, carbon footprint reduction and improved worker's welfare...a testament to their ethos of 'respect for the land and its people.'

Today, Caliterra Winery continues to showcase the richness and diversity of Chile's wine-producing regions to a global audience, offering an unrivalled range of wines that beautifully illustrate the unique terroir of the Colchagua Valley. It is fitting then that Caliterra, a palpable embodiment of the harmony between wine, nature and mankind, is etched in the minds of wine enthusiasts world over.
