Amayna – Chardonnay
Chardonnay, medium deep golden colour, fair amount of body, buttery mouthfeel, clear notes of wood mixed with citrus and tropical fruit. This might sound like a traditional white Burgundy, but that is definitely not the case. Would have been difficult, since it is being produced in Leyda Vally, in faraway Chile...

And yet there is still loads to discover, especially in the relatively unknown Alto Piemonte.
