An emphasis is placed on the delicate handling of the wines, with the aim of producing wines of elegance and complexity.

Recognizing that this valley, with its \u003cstrong\u003ehot, dry summers and cool Pacific Ocean breezes, was ideal for growing grapes,\u003c\/strong\u003e he sent for the finest clones from France and \u003cstrong\u003etransformed this barren land into a world-class vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Errazuriz ferments its best lots of Chardonnay using natural yeast. Natural fermentation starts slower than inoculated fermentation because the yeasts must grow to sufficient numbers to transform sugars into alcohol. During this period the \u003cstrong\u003eyeasts produce by-products which add distinctive flavors and complexity to the wine\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting notes: \u003c\/span\u003eVivid aromas of lemon peel, white peach and a touch of vanilla.
