A breeze off the Pacific, a glint of limestone-rich soil, and a glass of Maycas Reserva Especial Chardonnay, this is coastal Chile in a bottle. Born in the Limarí Valley where the cool maritime climate slows ripening and sharpens character, this Chardonnay is both vibrant and refined. It’s an expression of place: mineral, crisp, and balanced by Chilean sunshine.

Maycas Reserva Especial Chardonnay 75cl
Brand: Maycas del Limarí | Category: White Wine (Chardonnay) | ABV: ~13.5% | Origin: Limarí Valley, Chile | Vol: 75 cl

Tasting Profile
Nose: Bright citrus peel, white peach, and toasted almonds mingle with gentle hints of sea salt and fresh floral notes.
Palate: Medium-bodied and textured, zesty lemon, ripe orchard fruit, green apple, and subtle creaminess glide in harmony, framed by precise acidity.
Finish: Clean and mineral tinged, a soft echo of citrus and almond lingers, leaving a crunchy, bright aftertaste.

Production Details
Grown in vineyard terraces near the coast, with soils rich in limestone and clay, this Chardonnay benefits from both warmth and cooling sea breezes. After pressing, the wine spends time in partially toasted French oak barrels, which build structure without masking freshness, aged just long enough to bring balanced complexity.

Perfect For
Dinner with grilled seabass, creamy risotto, or herb roasted chicken. It’s ideal for laid-back evenings when you want a white that feels lively but still elegant enough to sip solo.

Expert Notes
Celebrated for its coastal minerality and crisp elegance, this wine often draws comparisons to quality white Burgundy yet it brings Chilean brightness and vibrancy that make it uniquely expressive.
