Siete Soles Semillon Chardonnay - A delicious blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Chardonnay. A fresh and well-balanced wine, with notes of melon, peach and grapefruit. Well balanced with a fresh finish. Match with summer quiche, chicken dishes or even quaff on its own!
The name Siete Soles was inspired by the legend of the seven suns (siete soles) depicted on the rocks of an ancient Inca site close to the winery.
The Siete Soles vineyards are situated in the Central Valley, where the climate is strongly influenced by the nearby Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountain range. Soils are a mixture of clay, loamy limestone and sand.
The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed, and the must immediately cooled to maintain flavours and aromas. There was 8-12 hours' skin contact before pressing. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is then kept in contact with the lees for one to three months.
