With every sip, you taste both the place and the patience behind it.

Maycas Quebrada Seca Chardonnay 75cl
Brand: Maycas del Limarí | Category: White Wine – Chardonnay | ABV: 13.5% | Origin: Limarí Valley, Chile | Vol: 75cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: A graceful bouquet of white peach, citrus peel, and hazelnut, underpinned by cool stone and soft oak, like walking through a citrus orchard after the rain.
Palate: Silky and refined, with layered notes of lemon curd, green apple, and subtle almond. There’s a saline edge that adds freshness, followed by creamy textures and precise acidity.
Finish: Long, clean, and chalky, leaving a trail of citrus and toasted oak that lingers like a whisper.

Production Details:
Sourced from the prestigious Quebrada Seca vineyard, just 22km from the Pacific, this Chardonnay thrives in limestone-rich soils and coastal breezes. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels (mostly used), allowing gentle integration of texture without overpowering the purity of fruit. It’s a slow, respectful process, designed to let terroir take the lead.

Perfect For:
A sunset dinner of grilled sea bass, truffle risotto, or lemon-roasted chicken. It’s also a contemplative solo pour, the kind you sip slowly on a quiet night with good music and better thoughts.

Expert Notes:
Widely praised by sommeliers and wine critics, Quebrada Seca is regarded as one of Chile’s finest Chardonnays. It’s often compared to top-tier white Burgundy for its finesse, yet it proudly reflects its Chilean roots with minerality and sunlit character.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ “Burgundy-level elegance with a salty kiss. A revelation!”   Anton F.
🗣️ “Creamy, crisp, and complex. Loved it with grilled scallops.”   Rina G.
🗣️ “Didn’t expect to be wowed like this, pure class in a bottle.”   James H.

Interesting Fact:
The Limarí Valley is one of the few places in Chile with limestone soil, which gives this Chardonnay its distinct mineral edge, a rarity and a treasure in the New World.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve lightly chilled (around 10–12°C) to allow the texture and nuance to shine. Decant briefly if you want the creaminess and nuttier notes to come forward. Try it with seafood pasta, roasted vegetables, or soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert.

Distillery Background:
Maycas del Limarí was founded with a mission to reveal the hidden potential of Chile’s coastal north. “Maycas” means “terraces” in Quechua, a nod to ancient farming and sustainable stewardship. Under the Concha y Toro group, this boutique winery brings a Burgundian winemaking philosophy to Chilean terroir, precision, elegance, and purity in every drop.
