Much like coastal regions of California (Sonoma and Santa Barbara),
cooler climates around Chile allow Chardonnay to shine,
retaining acid and avoiding overripeness.
Chilean Chardonnay is cool climate Chardonnay with apple, pear, and tropical fruit flavors.
Limari Valley is said to be a perfect region for growing Chardonnay. The soil and climate here tend to produce old world acidity, minerality, and earthiness, combined with new world fruit (the best of both worlds).
Chilean Cardonnay is often good value for money.
