Maycas del Limarí's Icon Wine is a Chardonnay grown at Quebrada Seca Vineyard, located on the north Limarí riverbank, 190 meters above sea level.
This area enjoys mostly sunny days, while its proximity to the Pacific Ocean helps keep temperatures checked. Its calcareous and red clayish soils contribute their fair share to the overall freshness and minerality of this wine.
To Marcelo Papa, winemaker, “the signature of this extraordinary Quebrada Seca Chardonnay is its crisp acidity, outstanding granite minerality and fine-tuned structure.”
