Viñas Queirolo Intipalka Chardonnay 2018
Intipalka means 'valley of the sun' in Quechua, the language of the ancient Inca people. Located in an oasis that is the Valle de Ica the Queirolo family have been growing vines since 1880. The unique desert climate, with warm sunny days and cool nights, produces grapes with delicate aromas, bright acidity and a saline character imparted by the Pacific ocean just 60km away. The Intipalka Chardonnay is pale yellow in colour with fresh and intense aromas of tropical fruit. The palate is round and fresh with delicate yet succulent tropical fruit flavours balanced by fine natural acidity. An unoaked medium-bodied Chardonnay with creamy texture and long finish.
